even though my oven is self cleaning I still clean mine manually cause I think I do a better job than the self cleaner . I know , I know im sort of a perfectionist when it comes to clean . My adult kids call me mrs clean and im married to mr clean LOL .
I've never used the self clean, because I'm not sure it would do a better job then what I can do.

I used to use easy off until I tried Greased Lightning and Krud cutter with a scour pad. I now try to clean it as we use it but there are days it doesn't happen. I also use Dawn on the door with the scour pad. No more heavy easy off fumes
Another thing about gas ovens. The lines need to be blown out occasionally. Did not know that one but getting ours done soon. Better to get it done sooner than when the oven door sort of explodes out when you're heating the oven up. (Not an actual destructive explosion so I guess that's good. Nothing came apart. Just the door blew open with a loud boom shot sound.)
Never heard of that. The 50 year old gas stove never "needed the lines blown out". Not even sure how you would do that without risking serious property damage or personnel hazard.
Simple, CLEAN the oven Yes, if you self clean, the SD will go off, but dont disconnect it.
Just clean it the old fashioned way, try scrubbing, first
Lol , OP use easyoff. I have a smoke detector that goes off when I leave my front door open when its hot out. I consider this a good thing , its doing its job 👍

OK, thanks for the tips everyone. I did it last night. Boy was it hot in the house. First I cleaned out everything I could with scraping, and a wet towel. Black crud and ashes went bye bye. I don't use easy off oven cleaner. Those fumes are toxic. So then I locked the oven and turned on the clean. It actually cleaned for THREE hours. Is that usual? After 2.5 hours I turned it off and heard funny noises from the oven. Whatever. After another hour, it was cool enough to open the door. Hooray ! A clean oven. I will try tin foil in the bottom so I don't have to ever do this again ! The smoke alarm never came on.

Perfectly normal. Next time, let the oven clean for the whole three hours.
The noises you heard were probably the sounds of the metal cooling and crackling.

Watch the foil. My hub did that, I have some burned on the bottom that won't come off no matter what I use. Maybe I should try self clean lol
I hit submit and saw this lol
