Using your Christopher Knight Home® Blaeberry Outdoor Fire Pit is a breeze. First, place the fire pit in a safe, flat area on your patio or backyard. Make sure the tank space has easy access so you can connect your propane tank without any hassle. Once it's set up, turn on the gas, and use a long - reach lighter to ignite the fire. Sit back and enjoy the warmth and ambiance. When using the fire pit, always keep it away from flammable materials like curtains, dry leaves, or overhanging branches. Never leave the fire unattended, especially if there are children or pets around. After each use, let the fire pit cool down completely before you move it or clean it. To maintain your fire pit, wipe it down with a damp cloth regularly to keep the natural stone finish looking good. Check the tank connections occasionally to make sure there are no leaks. If there's any dirt or debris in the fire pit, gently remove it. With proper care, your fire pit will last for many years of great outdoor gatherings.
