-Time how long your oven takes before it reaches said temperature of 100C.
-dont put in shoe(beds).
-let the oven cool down.
-put in shoe(beds)
-turn oven on
-turn the oven off before it reaches set temperature.
lets say half way or max 3/4 of the time it takes to reach 100C.
-leave the shoes(oles) in for a minute. the oven will retain the temperature for a bit.
-check after a few minutes and try if shoe(beds) adapts to the shape of your foot while fitting them.

thats it.

have had experience with fizik/shimano mouldable soles and footbeds.

...or given the cost of a pair of bonts and the cost of an oven thermometer, buy an oven thermometer!

The shoes need to be in the oven for 20 minutes at 70c/160F - so if your oven can't do that, then you really do need to find one that will. The other alternative is potentially binning a pair of £200+ shoes..

+1 what schweiz says. Most oven dials are inaccurate. Tesco oven thermometer cost me £1.99. My oven turns on straight away, it's only the marking that starts at 100.

As another hint, follow the video on Bont's site or You Tube vid for moulding, here: http://youtu.be/1Kwa7A3YcZQ

The only thing I would add though would be to lay an old dish cloth on the rack instead of directly on the metal
