    I'm not sure I'd want to risk running self cleaning for the first time on a 20yo range. Self cleaning amounts to running the oven at 500F until the dirt is turned to ash and can be wiped out.

    If I were you, I wouldn't even try it. You may never be able to get rid of the stench. Oven cleaner and elbow grease. Sorry.
