The best method would be to do a temperature survey at the location of the sprinkler. Use the temperature recorders that kitchen hood suppression contractors use to determine maximum temperatures or a recording device with a thermocouple.
The correct sprinkler temperature rating would be a function of the operating temperature of the oven, how long it is on (some don't let them cool down much at night, how far the sprinkler is from the opening, what the airflow around the sprinkler is, and what the ambient temperature of the area is maintained at.
