You might be tempted to take off the screws on the bottom of the air fryer. That's not where you need to go for this repair. You need to remove the control panel on the top.

Unplug the power cord!

Looking at the back of the unit, locate the thing gap between the control panel and the case.

Insert a small flat screwdriver in the gap and gently slide it to the right and pry open the clip. Repeat on the left side.

Work your way around the control panel to release all the clips.

Be careful when you remove the control panel. There's a ribbon cable connected to the control board. You can disconnect it if you want.
