Air fryer temperature is inaccurate; food undercooks or overcooks compared to the set temperature.

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before cleaning or internal inspection.

• Step 1 – Verify with thermometer: Use an oven-safe thermometer placed in the basket to compare actual temperature to the set temperature. Allow at least 10 minutes of preheat.
• Step 2 – Clean interior: Remove grease and food buildup from the interior walls, especially around the sensor and heater. Grease can insulate the sensor and cause false readings.
• Step 3 – Avoid overloading: Overfilled baskets restrict airflow and can cause uneven cooking. Cook in smaller batches to test consistency.
• Step 4 – Sensor inspection (advanced): Ensure the sensor probe is firmly mounted and not bent away from its designed position.
• Step 5 – Compensation: If the unit is consistently off by a known amount (e.g., 25°F low), you can temporarily adjust recipes while planning for sensor or board replacement if precision is critical.
