Set your oven to this

No oven dial has a 464 °F mark. Recipes treat 240 °C and 475 °F as the same setting — gas mark 9 — and the gap between them is smaller than the swing of a domestic thermostat. Set a fan-forced oven to 220 °C.

240 °C is as hot as most home ovens go. It is pizza-and-bread territory: short cooking times, high hydration doughs, and a preheat that matters more than the number itself.
