    Why does my Superior Indoor Fireplace main burner come on but then goes out?
    • N
      Natalie SmithSep 2, 2025
      If the main burner of your Superior Indoor Fireplace comes on but then goes out, check the gas supply and gas shutoff valves to ensure gas is reaching the fireplace. Inspect the control compartment for any loose wiring to the valve or ignition module, if necessary, call a service technician. Also, if the pilot flame is not engulfing the sensor or the vent system is obstructed, call a service technician.

    What causes soot on the logs and glass of my Superior DRC2040?
    • A
      Angela HernandezAug 31, 2025
      Soot on the logs and glass of your Superior Indoor Fireplace can result from several factors. Ensure the logs are properly positioned. A white film may develop on the glass during initial operation of the fireplace. Clean the glass after each use until the film disappears. Check and adjust the vent restrictor setting and air shutter opening according to the instructions in this manual.

    What causes frequent pilot/burner outage problem in Superior DRC2040?
    • A
      Ashley JohnsonAug 27, 2025
      Frequent pilot/burner outages in your Superior Indoor Fireplace can be caused by a pilot flame that is too low or too high. Clean and/or adjust the pilot flame to ensure maximum flame impingement on the thermocouple. This will help prevent the pilot/valve safety from dropping out.

    • J
      Jeremy GreeneAug 25, 2025
      If the pilot light on your Superior Indoor Fireplace won't stay lit after following the lighting instructions, the pilot flame might not be properly impinging on the thermocouple. Ensure the pilot flame makes good contact with the thermocouple. You may need to clean and/or adjust the pilot for maximum flame impingement. Also, check that the connection between the valve and thermocouple is tight and secure.

    Why is my Superior DRC2040 Indoor Fireplace pilot burning but no gas to burner?
    • J
      jessicacastanedaAug 23, 2025
      If the pilot light is on in your Superior Indoor Fireplace, but no gas is reaching the burner, and the valve knob and burner switch are both in the 'ON' position, several issues could be the cause. A defective wall switch or faulty wiring could be the problem; check the connections or try using a jumper wire across the terminals at the wall switch. Also, the thermopile may not be generating enough millivolts; it should read a minimum of 325 millivolts with the optional wall switch OFF. If it reads lower, the thermopile may need replacing. Additionally, a plugged burner orifice could be blocking the gas flow; inspect and clear any blockages. Finally, make sure that only one of the switches is in the ON position.
