Turns out you have to change batteries in the receiver underneath the fireplace. I'm still not clear on why the thing's also plugged into an electrical socket underneath the unit. The 100+ page manual is actually just installation instructions written in engineerese.

Isn't a receiver for a remote control to turn on the fireplace? The plug would potentially be for a connection to a wall switch for the fan when the fireplace hits a specific temperature?
My fireplace has a receiver that can be used to turn on/off the fire "manually" via receiver, manually via toggle switch on the fireplace itself, via remote control and there's a wall switch for the fan for the fireplace. The fan doesn't turn on if the wall switch is off, but will turn on if the wall switch is on and the fireplace has been on for like 3-5 minutes.
