If your gas water heater's pilot light has gone 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 residual 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", press the button down firmly, and ignite the burner using the spark igniter or a match, holding it for 60 seconds. Verification: Check that the pilot flame remains lit steadily through the sight glass.
