Yes, The smoke is because of the spills burning, don't let your pets close to the fumes. Acording to HowStuffworks:
"If baking spills are not wiped up after baking, there may be some smoke during an oven cleaning cycle. It is a good idea to remove any pets from the area when running the oven's self-cleaning cycle. There have been reports of oven-heated Teflon-coated items releasing odorless fumes deadly to birds.
Self-cleaning ovens have the added benefit of more insulation, which helps the energy efficiency for regular baking. This is similar in concept to an increased R-factor for home insulation.
You will also save energy costs by using the self-cleaning cycle right after baking, to make use of the already partially heated oven.

But I wouldn't cook in one right after the cycle as recommended above. The stuff inside turns to ash and needs to be wiped out. Naaaasty!
Given that the oven cleans at a temperature considerably higher than 350 degrees and does so for so long I don't think the savings will amount to anything significant.
