A pilot light is a small flame that is used to ignite the main burner of a gas appliance, such as a water heater, furnace, or stove. It is important to know how to turn off the pilot light in case of an emergency, such as a gas leak or if the appliance is not working properly.
To turn off the pilot light, first locate the control knob for the appliance. The knob will usually be located near the bottom of the appliance and will have a red or orange indicator light next to it. Turn the knob to the “off” position and wait for the indicator light to go out. If the indicator light does not go out, there may be a gas leak and you should call a qualified technician immediately.
