AquaHot Electric Element On/Off switch

How do you turn on the electric element without running the diesel burner?
I don't have a switch just for the element.
Thanks
Mark

See page 157 of the owners manual. The Aqua Hot electric operation is controlled by you thermostat.

Mark, 

On my 02’ Marquis the electric element switch was in the rear closet circuit breaker box. Turning the breaker on was all that was needed. It should be labeled Hydronic Heater. No separate switch. Hope this helps.

Yes ,the same ….  my electric element is controlled by the marked circuit breaker in the bedroom panel box or wherever your main box is .  I think the idea was if on shore power or generator you want the element on so you don’t need a separate switch. The only reason to turn it off ( in their thinking ) is if you are on a restricted power source like a 15 or 20 amp wall plug.

Thanks all
Appreciate it
And yeah, I completely spaced out the breaker in the closet.
(Blaming it on oldtimers)
Appreciate you all
