Midway down the side of the tank there is a device called an aquastat. It has numbers progressively increasing from left to right. These are the settings that the aquastat's contacts will open when the water temperature is reached shutting the tank off. It is like a thermostat but the sensing element is inside the tank and is surrounded by water. Generally all operate on the same principal, turn the set-point knob clockwise increases the temperature setting and turning the set-point knob counter clockwise decreased the temperature setting.
