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 Spectra
™
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 resis-
tances and will vary depending on the type and condition of the meter being used. All disassembly proce-
dures should be performed with power removed from the unit.

GE Convection ranges use the European or “true” con-
vection 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 con-
vection fan at the rear of the oven, gently circulates
heated air evenly throughout the entire oven cavity, un-
der and around the food. The moving air penetrates
foods faster than stationary air.
SmartLogic Electronic Control delivers more con-
sistent oven temperatures for exceptional cook-
ing results.
