Hi Pam- We are excited to hear of your interest in our GE Refrigerators! Frost Guard or Adaptive Defrost means that the refrigerator will only defrost as needed. It accounts for door openings and usage to determine when it is necessary to defrost and how long the defrost cycle needs to run. If the refrigerator is not being frequently used (ex. family on vacation), it will not defrost as often. It also utilizes a "Pre-Chill" function to lower the freezer temperature prior to the defrost cycle. This lowering of freezer temperature allows the freezer to return to its set temperature point more quickly once the defrost cycle is complete. All this amounts to less thawing of foods and refreezing during the defrost cycle. The result is that it reduces freezer burn. We suggest to view the following link for complete details on this great feature- REFRIGERATOR- FROSTGUARD TECHNOLOGY: http://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16699 - Keep in touch!
