wiring water heater

I have a suburban 10 gallon gas water heater (model G10-3E) that I am wiring with a four prong suburban switch. It is a 2012 model, never used so I am hoping it will work our OK. I need help wiring. I do not have the installation manual and have searched without success on the wiring. There are three wires comin off the water heater - Brown, Blue, and Green. I have the + and - from the fuse box. Can someone direct me what wire goes where?
Thank you,
Greg

Greg, a G10-3E is an Atwood model number. Atwood was bought by Dometic in 2014 so your 2012 was sold as an Atwood. There are several Atwood water heater manuals here: https://myrvworks.com/manuals/

The 10 gallon wiring may be the same as the 6 gallon which shows 2 switches which use power and the brown/blue/green.
