I just purchased a new convection oven and the fan does not automatically shut off when I open the door. Is this normal convection oven behaviour?

I’ve been in the industry for 15 years now and I have never seen seen this. Even in ovens with manual settings where you cannot control the fan speed or function.

The fans in my oven can only be controlled by the timer. So I have to turn the timer off, which essentially turns the oven off, every time I have to load or unload the trays. If I forget, I get blasted with hot air.

Secondary question: my go-to cookie recipe, that I have been making for 10+ years now, is not turning out well in this oven. The edges are cooked but the centre is almost too wet. It’s more fudgy brownie than cookie. No crust. What do you think is happening here? Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
