DESCRIPTION
This thermostat has a bimetallic strip that bends toward the contact screw when heated, thus closing the circuit.  Heat it until the bulb lights.  As it cools, the bulb will go out.

NOTES
Adjust the contact screw so it is close to but not touching the bimetallic strip at room temperature.
