Yes there is a cut out but what it looks like depends on the age of heater,if its a modern one there are 2 thermostats the right hand one is for adjustment the left one a cut out and thermostat and is preset,on the the left one you will see a cable attached on the left side,if you look about 10mm from where cable fixing screw is there will be a silver bit sticking up,push it down gently and you will hear it click
