It looks like you have an electric heater. You need a thermocouple (type J will work) to help control your heater. Heaters like yours often have a thermocouple in them. Look for wires. The thermocouple wire needs to connect to the controller. You tell the controller what temperature you want. The controller tells the heater to turn on or off in order to get the temperature to the desired level.

Look at: http://www.skibuilders.com/articles/heatedpress.shtml

I used google to translate into french:
Il semble que vous avez un chauffage électrique. Vous avez besoin d'un thermocouple (type J travail) pour aider à maîtriser votre chauffe-eau. Chauffe-comme la vôtre ont souvent un thermocouple en eux. Rechercher des fils. Le fil de thermocouple besoin de se connecter au contrôleur. Vous dire ce que le contrôleur de température que vous voulez. Le contrôleur dit le chauffe-eau pour activer ou désactiver afin d'obtenir la température au niveau désiré.

It looks like you already have a controller. You should be fine. The heater may not be long enough to fit under/over your entire ski. This could be a problem.
