Lighting your gas fireplace is crucial in order to experience the warmth and magnificence they can provide.
Contrary to a conventional lumber burning up fireplace, a gas fireplace is commonly self-starting.
Unlike an electric fire place, a gas fire place demands the use of a pilot light in order to light, similar to a gas stove or water heater.

1. Look in your fireplace to find a small flame, which is known as the pilot light.
   If you don't notice this flame, then you need to first light up the pilot before you can fire up your gas fireplace.
   Instructions for lighting the pilot light are as follows:
2. In case you have a decorative front panel or grill on your gas fireplace, always take it off before lighting your pilot.
   
3. Your own valves might be located at the rear of a panel.
   If that's the case, locate this particular panel and open it to access your valves and buttons.
   
4. Make certain all of your controls are shut off and the pilot is really shut off.
   
5. Double check to ensure that the control valve and main gas valve are switched off.
   If the control valve or main gas valve is on, switch it off and wait around at least five minutes to permit any gas to clear before you continue.
   This vital step will assist you in preventing mishaps with your gas fireplace.
   
6. Remove any inner glass doors if you haven't already done this.
   
7. Smell all around the fire place to make sure that there isn't any gas present that might ignite when you start the pilot.
   Make sure to smell near the floor because the gas is heavier than the surrounding air.
   Should there be, permit the fireplace to air out no less than five minutes before you continue.
   If the gas odor doesn't clear and you have checked again to ensure that all of the valves are turned off, you will want to call an professional to determine if there are leaks.
   
8. If there's no gas odor present, switch the main valve on as well as the control valve to pilot.
   
9. Push the control valve in approximately one fourth of an inch as you are turning.
   If you cannot push the control valve inward using only your own hand, phone a skilled technician.
   Don't use any kind of items to try to press the control valve.
   Forcing the valve isn't just a fire hazard, but may even lead to explosion.
   
10. Press the pilot valve in at least fifteen seconds but up to thirty seconds and push the piezoelectric spark igniter several times at an interval of once for each second to switch the pilot light on.
    Once the pilot light is turned on, a tiny flame should appear.
    In case the pilot light won't remain on after repeated attempts, phone a qualified specialist.
    
11. Hold the pilot valve in for 60 seconds or more in order to heat up your thermopile.
    Once the thermopile has been warmed up, your burner will start.
    
12. As soon as burner is activated, switch the control valve to on and modify the thermostat to your preferred settings.
    The thermostat control might be a switch in the bottom panel, a standard light switch, dimmer, or it may be started utilizing a remote control.
    

Change the internal glass door, any bottom access panel, decorative glass panel or grill and ensure it's properly clamped to the front of your respective fire place.
Enjoy your fire place!
