Possible Causes

Base NTC sensor out of calibration, Sensor not in proper contact with heater plate, Control PCB firmware or triac fault, Warped inner pot causing poor heat distribution

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid overheating oil; this is a fire hazard. Unplug the cooker if smoke appears.

Use correct oil and quantity: Follow the manual's recommendations for maximum oil volume and type.
Check pot condition: Replace a warped or heavily worn pot that may cause hot spots.
Test lower settings: If even the lowest sauté setting overheats, stop using high-heat modes.

Persistent overheating indicates a sensor or control fault. Have the base sensor and control PCB checked by a service center.
