Skip i'm not familiar with this particular heater but from the picture it looks as if the red button is the pilot lighting by pass. hold the red button down then stick some flaming item in the pilot lighting window. looks like the window with the two wing nuts. once the pilot is light continue holding the red button down for at least a minute until the thermocouple warms up. then you should be able to release the button and the pilot should remain lit. if it does close the pilot window up and turn the thermostat on and through the glass in the pilot window you should see the burner kick on. you mention that its electronically ignited in the email but i don't see anything that looks like electronic ignition unless is routed around the back of the unit. if it is electronic ignition you should see either some thing that looks like a spark plug or that looks like two pointed metal electrodes over the burner assembly. you should be able to see the electronic ignition by opening the window held on with the wing nuts. good luck and let us know how it turns out. jonathan |
