How to light your pilot light


1. If the pilot light has blown out, turn the pilot knob to OFF and wait until
the residual gas has cleared. Do not attempt to light the pilot until you no
longer smell gas.

2. After waiting several minutes, turn the pilot knob to PILOT and push
down the red reset button or the pilot knob itself, dependent on the
model you own.

3. While still depressing the button or knob, place a lighted match near
the tip of the pilot. Keep the knob or button depressed for a full minute
after it lights.

4. Turn the pilot knob to ON and the temperature control dial to the desired
temperature.
