No, I just bolted it into place and attched the clamps onto the
terminals.

I looks as it might be a fixed-temp thermostat.

It just *might* be a "crowbar": normally open, but if the resistors get
above 250° C, it goes closed-circuit, so shorts live to neutral. If wired
in behind some local fuse, this guarantees that the fuse blows
immediately, certainly, and Right Now.

How does one find out? The part numbers on the fuse itself don't seem to
lead to any information about it. Is there some sort of standard
numbering system?

I've spent several hours and ‚¬25 on this, which is disappointing, but I
haven't had an electric shock or microwaved myself, which makes up for
it, a bit.

Not a bad plan. Not the 25‚¬ part, obv.

It's not the worst thing to happen.

Did the resisors check out ok?
What does the circuit diagram say the cutout-like thing is?
