If you can’t figure out how to turn it off, check the instructions label on the furnace. If you can smell gas, don’t relight the pilot!
If you don’t have a long lighter, you can use a long match, but don’t use a regular size lighter or match. You want to keep some distance between you and the flame! You may have to try to light the pilot two or three times.
If it’s still not working even after you’ve lit the pilot light, then something else is wrong with it. You may want to contact someone who specializes in furnaces to help you fix it. [6] X Research source
