   Picked up a 179 HRE a few weeks ago. Couldn't find the water heater electric on/off switch near the black reset buttons as many posts here indicate. Was beginning to think maybe they stuck me with a one dimensional propane only water heater.   Finally did what all men hate to do, I got the installation/operational manual out. My model is the SW6D and the switch is actually located in the lower left hand corner on the back of the water heater as you're lookin' at it. To make matters worse, they covered up the switch with a piece of white tape. WaLa! Removed the tape, flicked the switch and it actually worked. Hot water without using propane. Hopefully this helps somebody else out there before they get too frustrated.
