I thought you had to choose from these:

I believe that Chuck is right...you really only have 3 choices.
But...most likely elcs70 was talking in centigrade. The 3 choices on fcpgroton are as follows:
87C is 188.7F
92C is 197.6F
101C is 213.8F

So, you're out of spec hoping for a 160F thermostat...stick with one of the ones above, depending on where you live.

you went the wrong way...188C equates to 370F...

So I'm not sure where the OP got those numbers. Those are more like high side settings on a building HVAC systems...

Oops....you are correct.
Kelvin? Rankine? Oh my....

So embarrassed, I just edited my post above- sorry for the confusion.
