To light a gas heater with an electronic pilot, locate the pilot light button on the heater. Press and hold the button while simultaneously pressing the ignition button. Keep holding the pilot button for about 30 seconds to allow the pilot light to ignite. Release the pilot button and adjust the temperature as needed.
You can hire someone to do it for lots of money (I did that). Or you can light it with a match (that's what the guy I hired did)
Most pilot lights are not adjustable. If it's not working properly the usual solution is to change the thermocouple.
To light the pilot on a wall heater, locate the pilot light button or knob and turn it to the "pilot" position. Hold down the button or knob while using a long lighter or match to ignite the pilot flame. Keep holding the button or knob for about 30 seconds to allow the pilot to stay lit. Release the button and adjust the temperature as needed.
To effectively light a wall heater, follow these steps: Turn off the gas supply to the heater. Locate the pilot light assembly and turn the knob to the "pilot" position. Press and hold the knob while using a long lighter to ignite the pilot light. Continue holding the knob for about 30 seconds to allow the pilot light to stay lit. Release the knob and turn it to the "on" position. Turn on the gas supply and adjust the temperature as needed.

If it continues to go out, contact a professional for assistance.
To determine if the water heater pilot light is out, locate the pilot light access panel on the water heater. Look inside to see if the pilot light is lit. If it is not lit, you may need to relight it following the manufacturer's instructions.
To start a gas water heater, first make sure the gas supply is turned on. Then, locate the pilot light and follow the manufacturer's instructions to relight it. Once the pilot light is lit, adjust the temperature setting on the water heater to your desired level. Allow the water heater to heat up the water before using it.
Have you turned the control from Pilot to On? Have you increased the temperature setting?
The heater pilot light may not stay lit due to issues with the thermocouple, gas supply, or a dirty pilot light. It is important to check and clean these components to ensure the pilot light stays lit.
The pilot light on the water heater went out because there was a lack of gas flow or a problem with the ignition system.
If the pilot light is on, the heater should come on by itself. If the pilot light is off then it has to be lit. If it will not stay on, the thermocouple is bad.
