Suburban Water Heater electric heating element question

There is an on/off switch located outside in the water heater(WH)bay. I understand this is to power the electric heating element should you choose to heat the water with 110v. If I want to heat with 110, should the inside switch for the WH be in the on or off position? I'm talking about the switch at the inside control panel. The model is SW6DE. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. When I turned on the inside switch, the gas burner lit.
