Using your new outdoor fire pit table is a breeze. Just make sure it's placed on a flat, stable surface outdoors. If you want to use natural gas, you'll need to buy a conversion kit separately and install it according to the instructions. To start the fire, follow the ignition steps in the user manual. When using it, keep a safe distance from the flames and don't leave it unattended. For maintenance, clean the fire pit regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and debris. After use, let it cool down completely before covering it. In the off - season, store it in a dry place to protect it from the elements. This way, your fire pit table will serve you well for many years.
