The work around requires some working experience with 120 vac. But it is simple in that what you do is energize leg one to the AH heater without turning on the interior electric switch. Therefore the A/Cs work and only the 120 vac electric element works drawing 13 to 14 amps.
The easiest way I see to do this is at the wall mounted relay on the front wall of the heater compartment. Just use a switch or relay activated by a signal from a remote mounted switch to jump leg one around the relay and you are on.
A second way is to disconnect leg two at the relay, bypass the interlock as Russ has done and therefore the interior electric switch only energizes leg one and the 120 vac element.
This is the situation all other AH heaters more than 3 years old have and is as described by Russ above.
