Demystifying Turbo Freeze on GE Freezer: Benefits and Usage

Have you ever wondered what that Turbo Freeze button on your GE freezer does? If you’re like most people, you probably don’t use it very often, or maybe you don’t even know what it is. Well, we’re here to demystify this handy feature and show you how it can benefit you and your food.

Turbo Freeze is a feature that cools down your freezer quickly after you open the door or add new items. It helps to preserve the quality and freshness of your food by keeping it at the optimal temperature.

How Turbo Freeze Works

Turbo Freeze is a simple but effective feature that boosts the cooling power of your freezer. When you activate it, the compressor and the fan run at high speed, lowering the temperature of the freezer to the coldest setting. This lasts for 8 hours or until you turn it off manually.

When you open the door of the freezer, the fan will stop running, but the compressor will keep working. This is normal and it helps to save energy and reduce noise. You will see a ‘tF’ symbol on the temperature display when Turbo Freeze is on.

When to Use Turbo Freeze

Turbo Freeze is useful for several situations, such as:

• When you add a large amount of new food to the freezer, such as after grocery shopping or cooking a big batch of meals.
• When you open the door frequently or for a long time, such as when you’re organizing or cleaning the freezer.
• When you want to freeze food faster, such as when you’re making ice cream or popsicles.
• When you want to keep your food at the best quality and freshness, such as when you’re storing meat, seafood, dairy, or produce.

How to Use Turbo Freeze

Using Turbo Freeze is easy and convenient. Here are the steps:

• Press and hold the Turbo Freeze button for 3 seconds until the ON light comes on.
• Wait for 8 hours or until you want to turn it off.
• Press and hold the Turbo Freeze button again for 3 seconds until the ON light goes off.

That’s it! You can enjoy your frozen food with confidence and satisfaction.
