WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY PILOT LIGHT GOES OUT?
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN LIGHT ANY PILOT LIGHT THAT HAS GONE OUT.
Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings concerning the appliance.

If the appliance is in a basement or closed room, thoroughly ventilate the area before lighting the pilot.

DO NOT smoke or have any source of ignition (such as flames or spark-producing materials) in the area before lighting the pilot.

Be especially alert for the smell of propane. Sniff at floor level before lighting a pilot.

IF YOU SMELL GAS, DO NOT LIGHT THE PILOT LIGHT.

DO NOT allow any extra or unnecessary people (especially children) to remain in the room or area of the building where you are lighting a pilot.

DO NOT try to light pilot lights in any area where other odors may make it difficult for you to detect the smell of a propane leak.

DO NOT light the pilot if a musty or damp smell persists. These conditions can mask the smell of propane.

DO NOT apply force or use tools on the pilot light or its control. This could cause damage that leads to gas leakage. Use only your hands to operate knobs, switches, or buttons.

DO NOT attempt to let air out of gas lines by opening a valve or fitting inside a building or enclosed space. You may release gas and not be able to smell it.

DO NOT apply oil to a sticky knob or button on a gas control valve. Oil can cause the control valve mechanism to stick and malfunction
