Yes, you can safely remain inside your home while your kitchen oven is running its high-heat self-cleaning cycle, provided your house is well-ventilated and you monitor the appliance closely. Because the self-cleaning mode pushes internal temperatures past 800 degrees Fahrenheit to incinerate stubborn grease and food spills, it creates substantial smoke, a strong burning odor, and minor carbon monoxide emissions from organic residues. If anyone in your household suffers from asthma or severe respiratory sensitivities, it is best for them to leave temporarily. You can troubleshoot smoke management easily by running exhaust fans and opening windows. You can verify that your home environment remains safe when adequate cross-ventilation clears out smoke and odors efficiently without triggering smoke detectors.
