8.Press the white pilot light button on the gas valve and hold approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute, until the pilot stays lit. (If fryer is equipped with a piezo ignitor, press and hold the white pilot light button, then repeatedly press the piezo ignitor button until the pilot lights. Release the white button after approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute.)
