Using your new fire pit is easy. First, place the fire pit on a flat, stable surface outdoors. Connect the propane tank to the burner inside the tank holder. Make sure the connections are tight. Then, turn on the propane and use a long - handled lighter to ignite the burner. You can adjust the flame to your desired level. When you're done using the fire pit, turn off the propane and let the fire pit cool down completely. Here are some important notes. Never use the fire pit indoors or in an enclosed area. Keep flammable materials away from the fire pit. Don't touch the fire pit while it's hot. For maintenance, regularly clean the fire pit and remove any debris. Check the burner and connections periodically to ensure they are in good condition. If there are any issues, contact the manufacturer's customer service.
