following preheat, adjust burners to desired

In order for the U- burners and burner box to
remain clean, the gas burners and the flame
spreaders have to be hot enough to vaporize
fats/oils/marinades as they drip upon them.
Without a proper preheat, these materials will
collect on both the flame spreader and the
burner tubes resulting in partial or total loss of
ignition or a decrease in burner performance.
