Possible Causes

Normal residual heat after cooking, Faulty temperature sensor reading too high, Blocked cooling airflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not attempt to force the unit to run while it indicates high temperature; internal parts are hot.

Steps to handle H1/HOT:

  • Allow cooling time: Open the basket drawer slightly and let the unit sit powered off for 10–20 minutes to cool down naturally.
  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the air fryer has adequate space around it and is not placed under low cabinets that trap heat.
  • Clean vents and interior: Remove grease and dust from vents and the interior cavity. Grease buildup can retain heat and slow cooling.
  • Sensor check: If H1 appears even when the unit is cold, inspect and test the NTC temperature sensor as described in the E1/E3 procedures. Replace if out of range.

Note: A brief H1/HOT indication immediately after cooking is normal behavior and not a fault unless it persists for an unusually long time.
