The official NIST report says that the damage caused by the collapse of the other towers started fires but was not a factor in the collapse of WTC 7

Finally, the report notes that "while debris impact from the collapse of WTC 1 initiated fires in WTC 7, the resulting structural damage had little effect in causing the collapse of WTC 7." http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/releases/wtc-082108.cfm

Summary from NCSTAR 1A WTC 7 Investigation (PDF) http://www.nist.gov/customcf/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=861610

"...Thus, WTC7 did not collapse due to fire-induced weakening of critical columns"...

"...Temperatures did not exceed 300 °C (570 °F) in the core or perimeter columns in WTC7"...

"...The thermal expansion of the WTC7 floor beams...occurred primarily at temperatures below ~750 °F"...

A self-cleaning oven is an oven which uses high temperature approximately 500° Celsius (900° Fahrenheit) to burn off leftovers from baking, without the use of any chemical agents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-cleaning_oven
