There are some great videos on youtube about how people hack their oven's auto clean mode in order to get the temperature up for the purposes of making a killer pizza. The auto clean, blasts the oven at a high temperature, but when it's engaged it locks the door so you can't open it. People rig the toggle so that they can get the higher temperature and still be able to open the oven to put the pizza in.
