1999 SPECTRA™ series - Free Standing Electric Ranges w/ TrueTemp™

Pages 5 through 8 of this service guide show all of the models in the new series of Spectra™ ranges. This
service guide will focus primarily on the JB960, GE Profile Performance models listed on page 5. The JB960
models reflect most of the changes that are incorporated in the new series of electric ranges (Spectra
series). This service guide will focus primarily on the NEW features introduced in the Spectr a™ model series.
What this service guide will not cover is basic component servicing common to most of our previous year
models (component removal/installation and diagnostics).

The information in this service guide is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds of
electrical, electronic and mechanical experience. All resistances listed in this guide are approximate resis­tances and will vary depending on the type and condition of the meter being used. All disassembly proce­dures should be performed with power removed from the unit.

GE Convection ranges use the European or “true” con­vection system. The difference between “us and them”
is a third dual loop heating element that surrounds the
convection fan in the back wall of the oven. The con­vection fan at the rear of the oven, gently circulates
heated air evenly throughout the entire oven cavity, un­der and around the food. The moving air penetrates
foods faster than stationary air.

Using the convection oven.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.
DONOTleave the door open for long periods of time while using convection
cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

To help you understand the difference between
convection bake and roast and traditional bake and
roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

■

Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on all 3 shelves.

■

Good for large quantities of baked foods.

■

Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins, brownies, cupcakes,

cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

Heat comes from the heating element in the rear of the
oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly, over and around the food. Preheating is not
necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15
minutes.

Convection Roast

■

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

Heat comes from the top heating element. The
convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and
around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Using the
roasting rack provided, heated air will be circulated
over, under and around the food being roasted. The
heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender
product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden
brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on the lowest
shelf position (A) on a shelf.

When you are convection roasting it is important that
you use the broiler pan and grid and the special roasting
rack for best convection roasting results. The pan is used
to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent
grease spatters. Place the meat on the special roasting
rack. The rack holds the meat. The rack allows the
heated air to circulate under the meat and increase
browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.

■ Place the shelf in the lowest shelf position (A).

■ Place the grid on the broiler pan and put the roasting

rack over them making sure the posts on the roasting
rack fit into the holes in the broiler pan.

In a convection oven, a fan circulates
hot air over, under and around the
food. This circulating hot air is evenly
distributed throughout the oven cavity.
As a result, foods are evenly cooked
and browned—often in less time with
convection heat.

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven. Recipe
conversion is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

When baking, reduce baking temperature by 25˚ F.
No need to preheat when cooking longer than 15 minutes.

■

For more information on adapting recipes, see the

Convection Cookbook.

■

Use pan size recommended.

■

Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main

dishes have been developed using commercial convection
ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and
use the temperature on the package.

Adapting Recipes…

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware
leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with
several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do
not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended
for use in regular ovens can be used in convection ovens.
Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400˚ F.
can also be used.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven.
However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.

■

Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans.

■

Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat
cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot
air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

Because heated air is circulated evenly through out
the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results
using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly
for some foods but the overall result is time saved.
Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quick breads
give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

When baking on 3 shelves, place one shelf in the
bottom (B), one on the 4th (D) position and the
offset shelf in the 6th (F) position.

When convection baking with only
1 shelf, follow the shelf positions
recommended in the Using the
oven section.

Stuffed birds generally require 30-45 minutes additional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with
foil to prevent over-browning and drying of skin.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says "Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it
to 140˚ F. means some food poisoning organisms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book. Your

Cleaning the glass cooktop.

Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream before you use the cooktop for the first time. Also, clean
the glass surface after each use. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.

To clean the cooktop seal around the edge of the glass,let a wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean.
Use a mild detergent if needed.

Do not use a knife or any sharp object on the seal because it will cut or damage it.

Normal Cleaning

Use only a recommended cleaning cream,
such as Cerama Brite or another cooktop
cleaning cream, on the glass cooktop.

To maintain and protect the surface of
your new glass cooktop follow these steps.

Before you use the cooktop for the
first time, clean it with cleaning
cream. This helps protect the top
and makes clean-up easier.

Clean the surface with the cleaning
cream after each use.

Rub a few drops (less is better) of the
cleaning cream onto soiled area
using a damp paper towel. Buff with
a dry paper towel until all soil and
cream are removed.

For Heavy, Burned-On Soil…

Allow the cooktop to cool.
Apply a few drops of the cleaning

cream to the (cool) soiled area.
Using a damp paper towel, rub the

cream into the burned-on area. As
with any burned-on spill, this may
require some effort.

Carefully scrape soil with razor
scraper. Hold scraper at a 30˚angle
against the glass cooktop.

Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not
use a dull or nicked blade.

If any soil remains, repeat the steps
listed above. For additional
protection, after all soil has been
removed, polish the entire surface
with the cleaning cream.

Buff with a dry paper towel.

Special Care

Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not
use a dull or nicked blade.

Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge,
candy syrups) or melted plastics can
cause pitting of the surface of your
cooktop (not covered by the warranty)
unless the spill is removed while still hot.

Special care should be taken when
removing hot substances.

Turn off all surface units affected by
the spillover. Remove hot pans.

Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor
scraper at a 30˚angle to the cooktop.
Scrape the hot spill to a cool area
outside the surface unit.

With the spill in a cool area, use a dry
paper towel to remove any excess.
Any spillover remaining should be
left until the surface of the cooktop
has cooled. Do not continue to use
the soiled surface unit until all of the
spillover has been removed. Follow
the steps under

Heavy Burned-On Soil

to continue the cleaning process.

NOTE: If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum,
copper or enamel are allowed to boil dry, the
overlay may bond with the glass cooktop and
leave a black discoloration. This should be
removed immediately before heating again
or the discoloration may be permanent.

Using a razor scraper will not
damage the surface if the 30˚ angle
is maintained.

Using the self-cleaning oven.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.

Remove the shelves, broiler pan, broiler
grid, probe, all cookware and any
aluminum foil from the oven.

The oven shelves and convection roasting
rack can be self-cleaned, but they will
darken, lose their luster and become
hard to slide.

Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads
or cleansers such a Soft Scrub®. Rinse well
with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in
place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT:

The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well
ventilated room.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.

10. Grasp the bak e element on both sides and

gently pull it towards you as you remove
it from its housing. IMPORTANT: notice
that the opposite end of the bake element
has two alignment tabs which must fit into
slots on the other side of the housing.
When reinstalling the element, be sure
that the tabs are engaged into the locator
slots on the opposite end. If y ou fail to do
this, the bake element will not fit flush
against the frame and will protrude
enough that you will not be able to re­mount it to the frame.

Tip: The bottom area of the bake ele­ment housing bows slightly upward in the
center - this is due to insulation under­neath it which forces it slightly upward.
Using a long bladed screw driver, gently
push downward on the bake element
housing while pushing the element for­ward. This is also helpful in forcing the
backside of the element downward
enough so that it can align with the loca­tor slots on the opposite side.

INFINITE HEAT CONTROLS

Infinite heat controls are used to regulate the
wattage of the surface units. The infinite heat
control is essentially a timing device, and its on­off time is not related to any temperature sens­ing element at the surface unit (such as the sen­sor head of an automatic surface unit).

The controls have two detent positions - OFF
and HIGH. Between the these two positions is
an infinite r ange of heat selections. At the high
detent setting, the surface unit is energized con­tinuously .

There are two basic types of infinite heat con-

™

trols used on the new Spectra

series of ranges.
One is a Voltage Sensitive control and the other
is a Current Sensitive control.

Internally both controls (voltage sensitive and
current sensitive) contain a bi-metal control which
regulates the switch ON-OFF time. The bi-metal
has a heater wrapped around it which supplies
heat to the bi-metal, opening and closing the
control cycling contacts. As you will note from
the illustrations to the right, the heater is only
energized when the cycling contacts are
closed.

THERMAL LIMITER SWITCH

Attached to each surface element is a thermal
limit switch. This switch serves two purposes.

1. Controls cooktop surface “HOT” light op­eration.

2. Removes po wer to the surface element, in
the event that the cooktop glass directly
above the element e xceeds 1031° F.

When the temperature of the cooktop glass,
above the heating element, reaches 150° F., a
set of contacts in the thermal switch will close
and provide power to the HOT light. The hot
light will remain on until the glass surface abov e
the element cools below 150° F. The HOT light
is mounted to the control panel and is located
just below each control knob (see Illustration to
the right).

The second set of contacts in the thermal limit
switch remove po wer to the element in the ev ent
the cooktop glass above the element exceeds
1031° F. If this condition should ever occur the
contacts in the thermal limit switch will open and
remove power to the element. Once the cooktop
glass cools below 1031° F., the contacts in the
thermal limit switch will close and the element
will resume operation.

SELF CLEANING - We recommend venting with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during
the first self-clean cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors
in or near the self-cleaning oven. A combination of any
of these products plus the high clean cycle temperatures
may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

The oven front frame and the oven door outside the
gasket do not get cleaned by the self-clean cycle. On
these areas use detergent and hot water or a soap-filled
steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water
solution. This will help prevent a brown residue from
forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with
a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket.

ERC FAULT CODE MEMORY DISPLAY

Have you ever run a service call and been told by the consumer
that their range displayed an "F" fault code and when you arrive
the fault is gone (cleared by the consumer) and the consumer
can not remember what the code was?

Well there is a way to "recall" the last four fault codes from the
ERC memory. These codes are stored in short term memory
(RAM) and can be recalled by the service Technician; however, it

is important to note that once power is lost to the appliance
the memory (RAM) is cleared and "reset" to all eights. When

servicing a range for a fault code problem, always remove power
to the unit. This will protect you from electrical hazards and will
also reset the fault code memory storage back to all eights.

HOW TO DISPLAY THE FAULT CODES IN MEMORY

To read the fault code memory, follow the steps below:

1.

Simultaneously press and hold the COOKING TIME and
DELAY START pads. While holding these two pads press
the number 9 pad. A history of the last four fault codes will
appear in the display. NOTE: If no keypad entry is made
within 5 minutes, the ERC test mode will "time out".

2.

To terminate the memory fault mode press the CLEAR /
OFF key pad

HOW FAULT CODES ARE STORED IN MEMORY - EXAMPLE

A

If we displayed the fault code memor y of the range just after
power had been applied/reapplied, we would see four eights in
the display, meaning that no fault codes are stored in memory.

B

The first time a fault code occurs, the ERC display will store
the fault code in its memory. When you read the fault code,
which is stored in memory, the code will display in the far right
hand digit of the clock display.

C

If a second fault code occurs, it too is stored in the ERC
memory. The first fault code stored in memor y scrolls to the left,
and the new fault code now displays in the far right hand digit of
the clock display.

D

If the same fault code repeats itself (sequencially), without
being separated by a different fault code, then the repeated fault
code will "stack" in memory. In other words, the repeated fault
code will only display once, unless separated by a different fault
code. In this example, F3 repeats itself twice, the resulting fault
code memory display only shows one 3. The same would also
be true if F3 repeated itself four times, the result showing in the
fault code memory display would be one "3", NOT four "3"'s.

E

If a fourth fault code occurs, the ERC will scroll the previous
fault codes stored in memory to the left, one digit, and store the
new fault code in the far right hand digit of the clock display.

F

If a fifth fault code occurs, the ERC will continue to scroll the
previous fault codes to the left, and store the new fault code in
the far right hand digit of the clock display.

G

If a sixth fault code occurs, the ERC will once again scroll the
previous fault codes to the left. Notice in this example the first
fault code (F1), previously stored in memory is now lost. The
ERC will continue to scroll the previous fault codes to the left and
store the new fault code in the far right hand digit of the clock
display.

DOOR LATCH MECHANISM

The latch mechanism is thermally controlled.
When the SELF CLEAN cycle is selected the ERC
supplies power to the lock motor, driving the motor
towards the LATCHED position. When the lock
motor reaches the LATCHED position, the micro­switches on the lock mechanism signal the control
board to stop the motor, leaving it in the LATCHED
position. When the oven temperature reaches 560˚
to 650˚ F., the ERC prevents the lock motor from
being energized (DOOR LOCKED).

When the oven sensor senses a temperature of
approximately 300˚F. the ERC once again supplies
power to the lock motor, driving it towards the
UNLOCKED position. When the UNLOCKED
position is reached, the micro-switches on the lock
mechanism signal the control board to stop the
motor, leaving it in the UNLOCKED position.
