How to Ignite an Electric Pilot on a Stove

Search for a knob or button labeled "ignite" on the front of the stove near the burner controls. Some models feature a red button that ignites the flame when depressed, but models vary. Your stove may have a knob to turn instead of a button to depress. Refer to your owner's manual if you cannot locate the "ignite" button.

Turn on the gas with the burner controls when you are ready to light the burner.

Depress the "ignite" button, or turn the "ignite" knob. You should hear a click as the igniter is activated. The gas in the burner ignites. Move the ignite knob back to its original position if it does not do so automatically.
