I cannot figure out where to hold a match to light the pilot light.
I read the instructions on how to light it but the problem is I dont know where to light it!

I'm freezing and it went out yesterday. Im in a new appartment and I've never had to light it before. here are some pictures. (sorry they came out sideways)

It is a weil mclain furnace, I cannot find a model # anywhere.

You should not be touching it. The apartment owner should do it or hire someone to.

Oh OK. I didn't think about that. Gee, Thanks!


Well I found the pilot and lit it but it keeps going out so I guess I'm going to have to call someone.
