pilot. The pilot is located on the right side of the heater, behind the front log and in front of the main
burner. If piezo ignitor does not light the pilot,
see Match Lighting Instructions, page 30.
8. Hold the control knob in for an additional 10 seconds to prevent the ODS pilot from shutting off the gas
