Replace you know what by j to email

run the heat cycle only or let the machine cycle through to the drying
segment

let the heat only run for long enough to heat the plastic & gently
scrap of the residue with the side of a small putty knife.

BTDT ...if the stuff cools, reheat by closing the machine. When
most / all is gone....let the element cool & use acetone or Goof-Off
to clean up the trace. Followup with with scrubber sponge & some
Softscrub.

smell should be greatly reduced
