Right now I need to get some work done.
The place I would want to start is to get the smell of smoke out. A good citrus cleaner diluted in water and sponged on the cabinet, inside and out, or a vinegar/water mix. Then let it air in the sunshine if you can. After that I might put dryer sheets in the drawers to absorb any lingering smell.
Meanwhile, the machine can be gently cleaned. Does it turn? Maybe all it needs is a good de-linting and oiling.
If it is frozen look to the tutorial section under home and search for vintage sewing machine and you will find good directions. Be careful around the decals, the cleaner will take the gold off, work around them.
You are lucky to have the original instructions and accessories!
