Let it dry out, or tip it over one a soft surface to drain out. Ss long as it doesn't leak into the electronics its not a huge problem
Flip 'er over and let it drain overnight. Check to make sure nothing got on the boards or other electronics in side, if so wipe it clean - you'll have to take the shell off. Let it dry out and let the smoke run to burn off the fluid in the unit.
Thank you for the tips I will try it and see what happens!
The easist fix is to blow down the stack first to clear the stack out. This usually gets it to smoking enough that you can burn the fluid out and start over
You can also twist the corner of a paper towel and stick it down the stack for a few minutes. It will absorb the excess fluid. Do it a few times with a new section of paper towel. It's quicker than letting it sit upside down.
Easier than a paper towel is a Q-Tip, and it'll soak up a surprising amount of fluid. Don't ask me how I know.
