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.

Multi-Shelf Baking

How to Set the Oven for Convection Roasting
when Using the Probe

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during convection roasting.
The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

The display will flash

PROBE

and the oven control will
signal if the probe is inserted into the outlet, and you
have not set a probe temperature and pressed the

START

pad.

Place the shelf in the lowest position (A). Insert the
probe into the meat.
Plug the probe into the outlet on the oven wall. Make
sure it is pushed all the way in. Close the oven door.
Touch the

CONVECTION ROAST

pad.

Touch the number pads to set the desired internal
probe temperature.
Touch the

PROBE

pad.

Touch the number pads to set the desired internal
food temperature.
Touch the

START

pad.

When the oven starts to heat, the word

LO

will show
in the display. After the internal temperature of the
food reaches 100˚ F., the changing internal temp­erature will show in the display.

When the internal temperature of the food reaches
the number you have set, the probe and the oven
turn off and the oven control signals. To stop the
signal, press the

CLEAR/OFF

pad. Use hot pads to
remove the probe from the food. Do not use tongs
to pull on it—they might damage it.

CAUTION: To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from
the oven outlet until the oven has cooled. Do not store probe in oven

NOTE:

■

If the probe is removed from the food before the final
temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the display
will flash until the probe is removed from the oven.

■

You will hear a fan while cooking with this feature. The fan will
stop when the door is opened but the heat will not turn off.

■

You can use the timer even though you cannot use
timed oven operations while using the probe.

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.
