Super hot is right; we have one and SWMBO leaves the house when it goes on leaving me in charge.
Oven heats to about 500 F, for about 3 hours, then the oven door stays locked for another 2 hours so you can't go in and burn yourself.
The byproduct is a white powder that is wiped out with a damp cloth.

Sister-in-law does mine;
90cm Hob + single fan oven for a cup of coffee.
She makes me one too while she's at it.
Fair play to her. 
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

blimey that is hot!
Does this mean it is good practice to heat your oven up to it max temp for say an hour before you clean it? help to burn off some of the crud first!
Or is that a rediculous idea for an oven thats not designed for that sort of thing!!

Course, with a bit of cunning you can bodge it so the lock doesn't work, leaving you with an oven setting hot enough to cook pizzas properly
