If the pilot light on your gas water heater goes out, follow strict safety protocols to relight it. First, turn the gas control valve to the "OFF" position and wait at least 5 to 10 minutes to allow any accumulated gas vapors to dissipate completely. Callout type="warning" title="Gas Safety Warning": If you smell a strong odor of gas, evacuate the home immediately and call your utility provider. Turn the control valve to "PILOT", depress the pilot button, and ignite the burner using a spark igniter or match, holding the button down for 60 seconds. Verification: Check that the pilot flame remains lit steadily after releasing the control button.
