The fireplace uses four 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries in
a separate battery holder located next to the receiver
under the firebox and one 9V alkaline battery in its
handset. Batteries should last one to two seasons,
depending on usage. Removing the batteries in the
off-season will extend the battery life.
To access the battery holder, open the bottom access
panel, unhook the fret or remove the trim depending
of the front trim installed on your fireplace. You may
have to remove the barrier screen.
