Five years, I mostly bake bread though some of it has a rather high fat content.
I never saw my Ma clean an oven nor my Grand Ma's, but then Old Ma was an Executive Secretary for a large Corporation and was Irish to boot and God as my witness they cannot cook, my Daughter in Law is one of those.
To: Little Bill
Hehe. I cleaned mine after six years, just a couple months ago. Dang that oven was clean! After a few hours with the windows open, I was one happy homeowner.

Or is it, 5 years later, I am too lazy to find the original user manual?

Now, a self cleaning oven, doing the jobs Americans won’t do. That right there is funny. :)

The operative fact is that you waited for the coldest temps in 25 years to experiment. I have no experience with self-cleaning ovens but my rule during extreme cold spells (or hot spells - 110+) is TAKE NO RISKS AT ALL!

Pour some vinegar on the end of towel. Grab the dry end of the towel and spin it like you’re going to rope a calf. This will help to get rid of the smokey smell.

There might be something to that, might be payback for teaching her mental math. Here is a number add it to this number and so on. Then again it might be her Polock Blood they can be stubborn.

Most astute analysis, LOL.

Oven clean cycles scare me more than vacuum cleaners.
To: Little Bill
If you're a single guy, cleaning the oven after 5 years should finally get rid of the factory coating and some dust, plus if you have mice in the house, it may get rid of old mouse corpses and nests in the stove and surrounding metal too.
Oh and DO be certain you remove your hidden guns and ammo before you hit clean. Just sayin'.

“...this was user error.”
Not as bad as my brother-in-laws though. Bought a new stove, put a pizza in to try it out. Somehow put it on clean. And it has a “safety” lock bar on the thing so you can’t open it while it is cleaning. Four hours later his pizza was “done”. It did not ruin the stove though!

Perhaps you should clean it a little more often? Clean it in warmer weather when it works to have the windows open for some hours.
We recently (tried to) broil some steaks in the oven. Nice little filets from Omaha Steaks, a Christmas gift. FLAMES AND FIRE. Maybe due to the bacon wrap? Too close to the broiler?
My daughter wanted to use the fire extinguisher on them, and I said, NO WAY, not wanting to sacrifice the steaks. They ended up fine, and the smoke odors were pretty well cleared out of the house after 3 or 4 days.
Back when my first husband and I moved out of our first apartment in 1981 after 3 years, the landlord came and inspected everything, checked the oven. He was a proud Asian immigrant, probably quite successful with his few small apartment buildings. He said, “I no give you back the whole damage deposit. I keep $5 because you no clean the oven”. I remember thinking DEAL, could barely buy a can of oven cleaner for the $5, and this was before the self-cleaning type.
