The new ovens recommend running the self clean cycle soon after getting the oven. They also STRONGLY recommend doing this with the windows open.
From experience - the smell is overpowering and it can make you wonder what the heck is in it and if it can hurt you. But when I put my new oven through the clean cycle (with the windows open) I had a bird in the next room. The bird survived, so the air must not have been too bad.
They do put canaries in mines to test for just this type thing.....
