How do I turn my gas fireplace on? **i tried reading the manual?
I holding the pilot button while continuosly pressing the ignite button. However, after doing it for around 30 seconds, it still didnt work. I smelled gas too. Am I doing anything wrong?
Answer:
without knowing the specific model of your fireplace, I'll still try to answer. When you hold down the pilot button, you are allowing gas to flow through the pilot. Usually the ignitor is a piezo switch that makes a spark when you push it one time, so you might have to push it several times to get the spark to light the pilot.
If the piezo switch doesn't actually make a spark when you push it, you can try lighting the pilot with a lighter. Once you get the pilot lit, you'll need to hold the pilot button down for around 45 seconds to allow the flam sensor to heat up.
After this you should be able to let go of the pilot switch, and the pilot should continue to burn. If it continues to burn, you can go ahead and begin using the fireplace safely. If after all this it won't stay lit, you might do well to replace the pilot assembly and igntior.
Again without knowing the specific model, I can only give you standard steps to follow with "most" gas fireplaces.
