There are two ways to do this. Fist is there is a small nut located behind the heater coil on the thermostat. It takes a special wrench to turn this nut. You can get them where you buy your thermostat.

The second way is to back off the screws that hold the backer plate to the wall and check it for level. Once it is level tighten the screws and connect the thermostat back to the backer plate.

How many watts of electric heaters set on low?

The wattage of electric base board heaters does not change because the thermostat is set on low. The wattage is a fixed value on the heater because of its internal resistance element. The thermostat set on low shuts off at a lower temperature than a thermostat that is set on high. It is the time interval that governs the amount of heat that the heater produces when the thermostat calls for heat. Once the room heats up to the temperature that the thermostat is set at, the heater shuts off. The thermostat is just a temperature switch.
