Using your Christopher Knight Home® Delany Outdoor Fire Pit is a breeze. First, find a flat and safe spot for it in your patio or backyard. Then, connect your propane tank to the built - in tank holder. You can leave the included lava rocks in the pit for a natural look or swap them out for fire glass. Once everything is set up, turn on the propane and light the fire. Enjoy the warm and inviting atmosphere with your loved ones. When using the fire pit, always keep a safe distance from it, especially if there are kids around. Make sure it's placed away from anything that can catch fire, like curtains or dry leaves. After use, turn off the propane and let the fire pit cool down completely. To maintain your fire pit, clean it regularly. You can use a soft brush to remove any debris from the surface. If there are any stubborn stains, a mild soap and water solution can do the trick. Keep it covered when not in use to protect it from the elements and extend its lifespan.
