Likewise, should the pilot light always be on in a gas fireplace?Electronic ignition is when the pilot light on a gas fireplace/insert/stove is only running when the fireplace is on, this means that the unit is likely to have a battery backup as well. A standing pilot is always on, always using a small amount of gas to run constantly unless the gas is physically turned off.Also Know, where is the pilot light on my gas fireplace? To ignite the pilot light, press your finger into the center of the control knob and hold it in place. Then, hit the fireplace’s ignition switch, which is typically a red button located near the control knob. Tap the switch until the pilot light ignites. People also ask, how do I light the pilot on my gas logs? You turn the control knob to the pilot position, push the knob in, light the pilot with a match, then hold the knob down for 30 seconds or so until the pilot stays lit by itself. Once the pilot light will stay lit on its own, you can then move the knob to the “On” position.Does gas leak if pilot light goes out?When the pilot light goes out, it does not leak carbon monoxide gas. However, if the light goes out frequently there could be other issues.
