Answer by Big_Prichard
There should be an opening towards the bottom of the heater, you want to get that open, look in there with a flashlight and you should be able to see the pilot. (It looks like a little tube; mine has two right next to each other, but only one is the pilot) You want to get a long match and light it with that.
The flame should be blue for the most part (when the pilot is lit)

Glo-Warm model WMN20A wall heater pilot light burning incorrect flame?
Question by vinster: Glo-Warm model WMN20A wall heater pilot light burning incorrect flame?
I just bought this unit brand new and am using a correct size 100lb. propane tank with a regulator attached to the tank. The flame on pilot and main burner is too high. Can i adjust this? and how do i do it? I don’t see any pilot adjustments. Can it be the little plastic set screw on my regulator outside? How do i adjust THAT?? I know i can get an allen key and turn it in or out , but which way will give less pressure?

Answer by latenttraveler
For this heater to work correctly you need to adjust the gas pressure to 11 inches of water column with a manometer you should not just try to turn it down
This heater has an ODS (oxygen depletion sensor) type pilot and it will not work correctly if the pressure is off by very much.
One question that I was wondering about: are you sure the heater was made to use LPG, or is it made for natural gas. That would give you the problem you are describing.
BTW if you have to ask which way to turn the regulator perhaps you should be asking “should I’ rather than “how should I”

Q&A: Why does the pilot light on my gas wall heater keep going out?
Question by gadgetyann: Why does the pilot light on my gas wall heater keep going out?
I have two of these in my house, and only one of them has this problem. I have to relight it every few days

Answer by Wibble
It happens to me sometimes too. The only time it seems to happen is if I have the kitchen windows open and it’s windy out. The wind tends to blow out the pilot light. Keep an eye on it it can be very dangerous in the winter time if gas can build up in your kitchen and all doors/windows are closed.

How can I light the pilot light to my wall heater?
Question by Nicki Lee: How can I light the pilot light to my wall heater?
Actually, I lit it successfully, but I can’t get the heater turned on fully. I started the gas by turning the second dial to ‘pilot’ and pressing it in, and when it started to hiss, I lit it. It stayed with only the pilot lit for 8 minutes before I turned it back off. I didn’t really know how long I was supposed to leave it like that. The heater in my last place kicked in 5 minutes after the pilot light was lit.I had the first dial turned to ‘high’. Why didn’t the heater kick in?
It has two dials, the first says ‘Low 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 High’ and the other dial says ‘pilot’ on the bottom and ‘On’ and ‘Off’ on the top. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

Question by BDiddy: How do I turn on a wall heater pilot light on?
just moved into a house and its cold. the house has a old Ultra Aire wall heater
Best answer:
Answer by Doc “N”
This is better. At least you asked something. Check to see if you have fuel. Turn knob to pilot, push down and push ignition button down a few times until it lights. Hold for 15 to 20 sec and then let off and turn to desired heat setting.

Will natural gas be emitted from a gas wall heater if the thermostat is on but the pilot light is off?
Question by Lisa Simon: Will natural gas be emitted from a gas wall heater if the thermostat is on but the pilot light is off?
I may have left the thermostat on but the pilot light off on my sister’s gas wall heater. Will this emit natural gas or since the pilot light is off will the flow of natural gas be blocked?
It’s a gas wall heater, not a water heater.
So, Chris, what you’re saying is that if the pilot light is not lit, even if the thermostat wants to turn on the heat, the gas will not flow because the pilot light is not lit? Therefore, the house is safe?
Best answer:
Answer by Chris
It is blocked, there is a thermocouple that measures the pilot temperature, if it is not hot the gas will not turn on.

Gas dude relights my pilot light!
youtube}
Once in awhile, my fan blows out the pilot light in my apartment wall heater. I ALWAYS forget how to correctly relight it, even though I remember that it looked very easy the last time he came. So this time, I decided to film the guy from the gas company so that I’d be able to remember what to do in future. And I’ve moved my fan across the room also…

Answer by Mandy
You might need a new gas valve. I work at an apartment community and when that happens, the gas valve is most likely at fault.
