| Functional Description: |
The T34 comprises of two single pole switches, one in the element line supply, one
in the neutral. The line contacts are opened by the dry switch-on protector which
responds to the heat conducted from the element, should the element overheat due to
lack of water within the vessel. The neutral contacts are normally closed but will
open if there is a need for the Thermal Fuse to operate.

| Installation: |
- The seal is fitted to the hole in the appliance and
the control is attached through the appliance hole onto
the element by three screws, compressing the seal to a pre-set value.
