Hi,
I just purchased a Galaxy (Sears) gas stovetop (model 790.6000) which has two central pilot lights between the burners. Everything functions properly but I find when the stovetop is closed the proximity of the pilot lights are such that the actual stovetop gets heated up quite high with just the pilots going.
I've adjusted each of them to be the absolutely smallest that they can be (in danger of going out with a light breeze) and it still has the same effect. I cannot imagine this is correct.
The pilot cage itself has a small arm shield that raises above it I imagine to take the heat of the flame should it get too high. I'm wondering if these are the culprits and need to be bent downward slightly in case they are touching or if there is something else that can be done to remedy this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Scott
