You have the Suburban SW6DE if you have the “two way” water heater. Switch on exterior of water heater is for electric heating only. Interior switch is for gas which is direct spark ignition so there is no standing pilot. If the exterior switch is turned on without water in the tank the electric element will be toast immediately. Also many people don’t know this but both can be run together if needed for quicker heating.
