I'd check for a kinked pilot supply, but there would be no instructions specific to the valve itself and only the complete hearth system. Since there is no control knob to hold open while air is purged from the lines via the inlet tap of an electronic ignition valve, you will likely just have to wait several minutes for any air to be bled from the system. Until then, the pilot will simply not light.

Matt S. from 80027 asked:
I have an old Superior gas fireplace that I would like to replace with something more modern. It seems the DRC2035 is a close match. Can I remove and replace without removing the brick fascia and sheetrock that the fireplace is built into?

Unfortunately, this is not likely. Fireplaces are anchored to framing members / wall studs. Their nailing flanges and, in many cases, part of the front face of their cabinets are finished over with the wall finishing materials.
