Down on the coast of Texas last year, I used my oven for baking quite regularly between May and October, a period when temperatures were regularly 90+ degrees. While the heat from the oven did warm up the kitchen and living area a little bit (nothing ever approaching an uncomfortable level), our two AC units still kept the temperature inside the Monty nice and cool. We weren't under any shade trees, either, so it was just the ACs doing the cooling. We didn't always run both ACs, either, and still didn't experience any significant temperature when the oven was in use.
Is it possible that your oven door isn't sealing tightly? Maybe opening the kitchen window, if you have one, and directing the hot air toward it with a small fan would help.
