Help! I nuked a pie in microwave

I meant to warm a pie in my combination microwave oven but pressed the wrong button & ended up nuking it on full power instead. I had set the timer for 15 mins but obviously after about 6 mins the house was full of smoke & the pie had caught fire. Anyway, the problem is I can't get rid of the smell of smoke in the house & when you try & use the micowave it gets worse. I've cleaned the microwave but it's made no difference. Any ideas anybody? The microwave is only 6 months old so I don't want to get rid of it.:o

I did the same and my microwave was in a housing unit so I couldn't get to it.
