00:00:04.890 --> 00:00:07.029 To light the pilot on your water heater 00:00:07.029 --> 00:00:11.349 just for reference instruction should be right here on the water heater itself 00:00:11.349 --> 00:00:15.400 but a lot of times it's just nice to watch somebody do it instead of 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.410 trying to figure out what knobs are what. So we're going to take this cover off 00:00:20.410 --> 00:00:22.900 which you just pinch. 00:00:22.900 --> 00:00:25.660 And there's this little window, you look in there 00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:29.990 that's where you would see the flame there's nothing in there. 00:00:29.990 --> 00:00:33.800 You cant see any fire so 00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:37.790 no its not lit. Again this is already in the off position 00:00:37.790 --> 00:00:40.970 and this dial is the 00:00:40.970 --> 00:00:45.440 temperature setting for the water heater and that's on the lowest 00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:49.740 setting there. This pipe that comes out of it is the gas pipe 00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:54.090 and here there's a quarter turn ball valve. If the valve 00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:58.170 handle is perpendicular to the pipe then it's off. 00:00:58.170 --> 00:01:01.600 If this was gone that way then there's a 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.070 gas able to flow through the pipe. This is also 00:01:05.070 --> 00:01:08.340 how water pipes work too. As far as 00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:11.369 perpendicular goes. Okay so 00:01:11.369 --> 00:01:14.909 we know this is off, it's been off for a while. 00:01:14.909 --> 00:01:19.350 If this isnt in the off position you're gonna want to wait 00:01:19.350 --> 00:01:23.289 at least five minutes for any gas that's been building up 00:01:23.289 --> 00:01:27.369 to clear out. You don't want any explosions when you light this. 00:01:27.369 --> 00:01:30.390 and the other thing to do is to smell around 00:01:30.390 --> 00:01:34.100 and get a little a low and close to this. If you smell gas 00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:37.350 anywhere near here, you 00:01:37.350 --> 00:01:41.149 shut it off and and let the gas clear open a window 00:01:41.149 --> 00:01:45.090 and if you need to, call for help, call service guy 00:01:45.090 --> 00:01:48.899 If you have a gas leak, don't ever 00:01:48.899 --> 00:01:52.469 light anything like this. 00:01:52.469 --> 00:01:56.079 So again if you smell gas don't light it. 00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.229 First thing you want to do is to turn this knob to the pilot position 00:02:00.229 --> 00:02:04.299 now if you look up here, it says OFF, PILOT, ON 00:02:04.299 --> 00:02:10.450 so the pilot position is there 00:02:10.450 --> 00:02:13.750 and you see this little notch 00:02:13.750 --> 00:02:17.700 it's hard to see from here and there's little notch 00:02:17.700 --> 00:02:23.290 That allows you to push this button down 00:02:23.290 --> 00:02:26.510 so we're going to get this sorted this again is in the lowest setting 00:02:26.510 --> 00:02:31.990 so I'm going to turn on the gas here and that's allowing gas to flow. I'm going to 00:02:31.990 --> 00:02:36.660 hold down this button here. That's letting gas go, and then I'm gonna hit 00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:37.270 this 00:02:37.270 --> 00:02:40.900 little striker button. And that should 00:02:40.900 --> 00:02:46.220 ignight. There it goes first. You saw that 00:02:46.220 --> 00:02:51.740 as soon as I push this button here while I'm holding this down. You want to hold 00:02:51.740 --> 00:02:58.740 this button down for about a minute 00:03:02.600 --> 00:03:06.750 Once 00:03:06.750 --> 00:03:09.830 you waited about a minute you can let go 00:03:09.830 --> 00:03:16.360 and make sure that that's still on. If it is still lit 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.310 like it is, then you 00:03:20.310 --> 00:03:23.790 can now turn this into the on position. 00:03:23.790 --> 00:03:30.790
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.000 You can turn this up to 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.799 whatever temperature setting you like, and put your cover back on. 00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:44.000 That's basically it. 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.680 Let's say you are going to 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.170 turn it off: 00:03:51.170 --> 00:03:55.450 it's really easy again. You can turn this down 00:03:55.450 --> 00:04:00.900 shut your gas valve off. Always shut this off if your gonna turn this off 00:04:00.900 --> 00:04:04.760 and then you turn this dial back to the off position 00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:07.160 and you're done so anyway I hope that helped.
