Using your Christopher Knight Home® Langton fire pit is a breeze. Just connect your propane tank (not included with the tank holder) to the fire pit, and then turn on the gas. You can adjust the flame to get the perfect amount of heat and ambiance. When using the fire pit, always place it on a flat and stable surface outdoors. Keep it away from flammable materials like dry leaves or curtains. Also, don't leave the fire pit unattended while it's in use. After each use, turn off the gas and let the fire pit cool down completely. To maintain it, clean the ceramic top with a soft cloth and mild soap. For the concrete base, you can use a damp cloth to wipe off any dirt. This will keep your fire pit looking great for years to come.
