Using your fire pit table is easy. First, connect it to a propane tank or, if you've bought the separate natural gas conversion kit, connect it to your natural gas supply. Then, simply use the ignition system to start the fire. Remember, the natural gas conversion kit doesn't come with the table, so you'll need to purchase it separately if you want to use natural gas. When it comes to safety, always place the fire pit on a flat, non - flammable surface and keep it away from anything that could catch fire. Don't leave the fire unattended, and make sure to turn it off when you're done. For maintenance, regularly clean the burning area to remove any debris or ash. Wipe down the exterior with a soft cloth to keep it looking great. With proper use and care, your fire pit table will serve you well for many outdoor gatherings.
