Follow these simple step-by-step instructions below to help you with lighting your pilot, or watch the Pilot Lighting Video.
 Locate gas supply valve (typically behind louvers, below glass opening — may be red or blue). |
 Open valve by pivoting handle to be parallel to gas line. |
 Locate pilot assembly with spark ignitor (located behind and below logs in the firebox — typically in the bottom center). |
 Then locate red or black ignitor button.* Push ignitor to verify spark at pilot area. |
 Locate the black or green valve control knob (knob with the words "ON", "OFF" and "PILOT" on it). Push in and rotate counter-clockwise until the word "pilot" is in the 6 o'clock position.** |
 While pressing and holding in the valve knob (in "PILOT" position — it should press in about 1/4"), press the red piezo button repeatedly (once per second) until the pilot ignites. If the pilot does not light, wait 5 minutes and try again. Once the pilot is lit, continue to hold the valve knob in for 30 seconds, then slowly release. |
 If the pilot light goes out, contact your nearest Heatilator Dealer for service. Remember to shut the gas supply valve off (picture #1). If it remains lit, press the valve knob in slightly and rotate counter-clockwise until the word "ON" is in the 6 o'clock position. |
 Finally, turn the unit's ON/OFF switch (or wall switch or remote control) to the "ON" position to start your fire. |
 Enjoy your fireplace! |
