Hello from Iowa in the United States. I am a homebrewer who is trying to brew the best beer that I can. I have been doing research on the advantages of boiling wort with the use of Electric Heating before fermenting. "We" here in the US have not figured out the advantages of this convience.
Here is what I want to do. I have a 220 v 3000 watt water heater element that I am going to mount in my boiling kettle. I have a 15 amp 240 simmerstat that I am going to use for powering and controling the heating element. I also have a 220 volt outlet that I want to plug into. My question is on the back of the simmerstat I have the following terminals.

I don't know what goes where in regards to incoming into the simmerstat and from the simmerstat to the heating element.
Any help would be appreciated.
