THE
WATER WON'T HEAT-
First check the gas line and make sure that the pilot light is burning.
If the pilot light is not burning, relight it according to the directions
on a metal tag usually fastened to the front of the heater tank.
No tag? Then follow these relighting instructions: 1)Turn
the gas lever or handle to the setting marked "Pilot."
It will be marked on the control.
2) Press down on the reset button, also on the control panel. It
should be marked, or it will have a red-colored cap. Hold this button
down.
3) Reach into the opening and hold the match to the thermocouple
pilot. You may need to keep the pilot light button depressed for
up to a minute until the thermocouple warms and keeps the pilot
lit. Be
careful with the match so as not to burn your fingers. If the pilot
will not light or stay lit you may need to replace the thermocouple
(see section on "Changing A Thermocouple").
