Yes, it is normal to hear your oven fan running when you turn on the oven including during preheat.
The fan helps circulate the oven temperatures and will come on and off during the baking process. The fan may stay on after you have finished baking and turned the oven off. The fan will stop once the internal temperature of the oven cools down.

Your appliance may be equipped with the ability to Lock the oven door and display controls.
To set the oven Lock feature (instructions may vary by model – check your Owner’s Manual for more details):
Press OFF and hold for 6 seconds. Lock will appear in the display, the door locked indicator light will flash, and the door lock will begin to close.
Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door to lock.
Once the oven is locked, the current time of day will appear in the display.
To cancel the oven Lock feature, press Off and hold for 6 seconds. The control will unlock the oven door and resume normal operations.

A meat probe works best with foods such as roasts, hams and poultry. The meat probe helps to ensure the internal food temperature reaches the desired "target" temperature. When the meat probe is active, it will display the internal food temperature, eliminating the need for any guesswork.
To use the meat probe:
Insert the probe into the food and place the food on the desired oven rack.
Plug the connector end of the probe all the way into the probe receptacle while the oven is still cool. The receptacle is located on the upper left front part of the oven wall.
When the probe is detected, an acceptance tone will sound, and icon will illuminate on the oven display.
A meat probe does not accompany all models so you may want to refer to your Owner’s Manualfor additional information.

The option to silent audible tones may not be applicable on all models so you want to check your Owner’s Manual.
For applicable models - When selecting a function on your display, an audible tone is heard each time a key is pressed. If you desire, the display can be programmed for silent operation.
To set the controls for silent operation:
Press and hold Start Time for 6 seconds. The display will beep once and then you can release the key.
The controls are now set for silent operation.
To return your audible tones to normal operation:
Press and hold Start Time again for 6 seconds until the display beeps once and then you release the key. The controls are now set for audible operation.

Air Fry allows superheated air to circulate in the oven to provide crispy, golden results without all the oil that deep frying requires.
Use the Air Fry feature in your oven and save time and space on your kitchen counter. No need for a separate appliance on your counter!
Use dark bakeware with little to no sides or try our ReadyCookTM Air Fry Tray to get the best results. The ReadyCookTM Air Fry Tray comes with an Air Fry basket and Oven Rack that allows for improved airflow for crispier results.
Don’t forget to place a baking sheet under the Air Fry Tray to catch any drippings. Air Fry feature is not available on all models.

Air frying works best with a dark, non-stick baking sheet with low sides.
For quicker, crispier results, try the ReadyCookTM Air Fry Tray.
The Air Fry Tray lets air circulate all around each piece of food, so it’s crunchy even on the bottom.

Air Fry uses really hot air to cook food fast and make it crunchy.
Although Air Fry uses hot air to cook, remember that you are still frying your food so it gets crispy!
When some high-fat or greasy foods (like fresh wings) meet that hot air inside an oven, some smoke is normal.
If Air Fry is making a lot of smoke, try these tips:
When using the Air Fry Tray, put a baking sheet on a rack or two below the Air Fry Tray. This keeps drips and crumbs from landing on the oven bottom, where they can burn and create smoke.
For additional protection, place some foil-lined parchment paper on the baking sheet. Parchment paper traps oil and keeps it from smoking.
Use cooking oils that can stand up to a high temperature like avocado, grapeseed, and peanut oils. Cooking sprays made from these oils are available at the grocery store.

Keep foil, parchment paper, and bakeware of the bottom of the oven. The oven bottom needs to stay clear so air can circulate.
Don’t overcrowd the food on your baking sheet or on the Air Fry Tray. If air can’t circulate around each item, the cooking and crisping process may slow down and allow more grease to settle or drip.
If your catch-tray is smoking, try placing parchment paper on it to hold grease.
For extra-moist foods, you may have to use more. It’s worth it!
Some foods, like fresh wings and some vegetables, have a lot of moisture and may drip more than you expect.
For items that might drip, use a pan with low sides if you’re not using an Air Fry Tray.Air Fry uses superheated air, so if your oven bottom already has drips or crumbs on it (it happens!), those can smoke.
Keep your oven bottom clean.If you have an oven vent, use it when cooking with Air Fry, like you would when using the cooktop.

Air Fry works best on dark pans because they get and stay hot very quickly. Shiny foil reflects heat of the bakeware, which may change your results.
When cooking with the ReadyCookTM Air Fry Tray, we suggest putting a baking sheet on a rack a couple of positions below your tray.
You can line that sheet with foil or parchment (or both) to catch any drips or crumbs, but you should never put aluminum foil, liners, or bakeware on the oven bottom. Items in this location can cause issues with air circulation and direct heat in any oven.
Always keep the bottom of the oven clear so the air can circulate properly.
