Using this fire table is a breeze. First, make sure the fire pit is on a flat and stable surface outdoors. Connect a standard - size propane tank to the fire pit as per the connection instructions. Turn on the gas supply and use a long - reach lighter to ignite the fire. Adjust the flame to your desired level for warmth and light. When it comes to safety, always keep a safe distance from the fire pit, especially if there are children around. Never leave the fire pit unattended while it's in use. After use, turn off the gas supply to prevent any gas leaks. For maintenance, clean the fire pit regularly. Wipe down the surface with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Check the connections and hoses periodically to ensure they are in good condition. Store the fire pit in a dry place during the off - season to prevent rust and damage.
