I once had this problem. A woman at work was cooking some popcorn.
Supposedly she set it for four minutes, but more likely it was 40. After it
was smoking away someone turned it off. What I did was to take it apart and
clean all the parts inside. I did not use anything special to clean with. I
just had to get the smoke residue off of everything.
