I'll try to get a picture- basically, I just bend it down a bit so it isn't touching any metal, but it's still right next to the burner.
The way it's installed the end of the fuse rests against the boiler and/or bottom of the heating element.
I checked mine this afternoon and I found that the bracket holding the fusible wire was up against the 'stovepipe'. Looking at it, it seemed logical that I just bend the wire cradle tab down so it doesn't touch any of the metal on the stovepipe.
Actually looking at the picture, both tabs are curled under to hold the wire (like claws); my tabs are curled up so that the wire is in plain view sitting in them (like a cradle).
