Actually your refer requires 12 volts and either gas or 120 volts to operate. The 12 volts is control voltage supplied by the battery. Depending on model you have there should be an auto position. In that mode it will automatically choose the most economical fuel source. Leave it there and go happy. If the peopane has bee off when you turn it on, open the valves, light the stove top burners to purge the air fro. The system. Then your good to go.
As for the water heater, there should be two switches. One breaker inside and a small switch outside on the heater itself. Mine has a small clip that locks it off. As a precaution mine is also off at the breaker. Connect water and run a how faucet until no more air comes out. Tank should be full. T test, pull the safety pressure reliev valve for a second ot two. Water should come out.
