temperature setting

Climate control dial

A temperature setting is a designated level on a heating or cooling device that controls how hot or cold something becomes.

Ovens, thermostats, water heaters, and air conditioners all have temperature settings: Bake at a temperature setting of 350 degrees, I lowered the temperature setting on the AC.

The phrase also applies to adjustable controls in software or electronics.
