Question: where is the pilot light in a water heater?
Answer: If it is an automatic, it will have a small ignition button next to the big On/Off/Pilot dial. If it's a manual, there won't be a button. The On/Off/Pilot dial is typically on the top of the box while the temperature dial is on the side. This automatic water heater has a green ignition button by the On/Off/Pilot dial.
