The worst part about this whole thing is neither of us are handy in the least (one of us is learning though (totally not me)) and have never had to turn on a boiler before or really know what a pilot light is, so we kind of started at a disadvantage.
We do the first thing that we think makes sense – pull up the instruction manual. Which helps us locate the knob that turns the pilot light on, hooray!
The instructions are simple – turn on the pilot, turn on the electricity, turn on the thermostat.
Check. Check. Check.
Nothing.
Okay… We open the panel to see if we can locate the pilot light. No idea.
We perform all the instructions again, in forward and reverse order. What are we missing??
