How To Light Gas Fireplace Pilot With Ignitor

Gas fireplaces are a beautiful and energy-efficient way to heat your home. They are relatively easy to operate, but there are a few things you need to know in order to light the pilot light with an ignitor. Here are the steps on how to do it:

1. Safety first!
Before you begin, make sure that the gas valve is turned off. You should also open a window or door to ventilate the area.

2. Locate the pilot light assembly
The pilot light assembly is usually located at the bottom of the firebox. It will have a small metal tube with a spark ignitor next to it.

3. Push the ignitor button
Press and hold the ignitor button for a few seconds. You should hear a clicking sound as the spark ignites the pilot light.

4. Hold the button until the pilot light stays lit
Once the pilot light is lit, continue to hold the ignitor button for about 30 seconds. This will allow the pilot light to stabilize.

5. Release the button
Once the pilot light is stable, you can release the ignitor button. The pilot light should stay lit on its own.

6. Turn on the gas valve
Now that the pilot light is lit, you can turn on the gas valve. Slowly open the valve until you hear the gas flowing into the fireplace.

7. Adjust the flame height
Once the gas is flowing, you can adjust the flame height to your desired level. Use the control knob on the fireplace to make adjustments.

8. Enjoy your fireplace!
Now that your gas fireplace is lit, you can sit back and enjoy the warmth and ambiance. Be sure to keep an eye on the pilot light to make sure that it stays lit.
