You may have the gas valve selected to pilot. Turn the knob from PILOT to ON. It should fire immediately. If you have a wall mounted thermostat, make sure it's set to a point that calls for heat.

No reason why it shouldn't. You will find a black dial for the temperature settings, to light the pilot light, there will be pilot light start setting, press the black dial in and hold it, light the pilot light and hold the dial down for about 10 seconds. The light should stay lit, once it does turn the black dial to the desired teperature setting.


How do you light the pilot on a Robert shaw heater when the knob only says ON and OFF and there is no PILOT indicator?

It probably doesn't have a pilot light. Turning the nob to the on position causes a click start - which is a spark that lights the flame. It's like most gas grills you buy today. Most furnaces are the same way now. Pilot lights are rather a thing of the past.
