Can I light my water heater with a lighter?
Light that pilot while still holding the gas down. Some water heaters have a red or black button, while others need to be lit manually with a long lighter. Hold the gas knob or button down for a full minute when the flame ignites. Make sure the light is still on by releasing it slowly.
