Steve,
The temperature gauge will never go beyond 212:F as that is the
temperature of boiling water, however long you will heat it, it will
stay at 212:F at standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. It cannot
rise any higher.
Only when pressurized the water will go to a higher boiling point, see:

So your gauge registered perfectly correct.
