| I have noticed that my O'Keefe and Merritt gas cooktop always stays warm. Is that normal? I am thinking of replacing it for a modern gas cooktop which does not seem to have that problem. |

| Does it have a pilot light? That would explain it. |

| Yes, that is normal. It is the pilot lights as weissman said. |

| If your cooktop has a pilot light it's probably produced prior to 1985. I'm pretty sure the O'Keefe & Merrit went to electronic ignition around that time. |

| Mine does, too. The guy who installed it for me said that some people light the stove pilot lights by hand during the summer, to keep the house cooler. |
