what i did was get a bucket out some warm water in it and waited until it was 26c using a thermometer to check the temp.
then i stuck the heater in it..
i twisted the nob until the light clicked off..

You lot are spoiled these days ! When I started the adjustment was a screw head INSIDE the thermostat... you had to remove the rubber bung from the top of the tube and twiddle with a screwdriver.... no neon lamp either, it was REALLY easy to make a booboo.

That was my first severe shock... adjusting with wet hands, talking to my mum and neglected to unplug the power I sat there shaking + shouting at her to pull out the plug... "which one ?" "all the buggers...." SLAP !!!! So, got smacked AND shocked....

This ONE incident 30 odd years ago is why I ALWAYS drill home the importance of safety with water and electricity.
Lifes a LOT safer now, with RCDs etc, but why take risks ? You only FU once
