To safely relight the pilot light on your gas fireplace, follow these steps:

  1. Turn off the gas supply to the fireplace and wait for at least 5 minutes for any lingering gas to dissipate.
  2. Locate the pilot light assembly and follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to access it.
  3. Use a long lighter or match to ignite the pilot light while holding down the pilot button.
  4. Once the pilot light is lit, continue to hold down the pilot button for about 30 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
  5. Release the pilot button and check to ensure the pilot light stays lit. If it goes out, repeat the process.
  6. Turn on the gas supply and test the fireplace to ensure it is working properly.
