C.D.
Hi, I'm C. and I have a 4 year old boy, Spencer. I used the same stove guard and it worked well for me. I did remove the guard occasionally to clean underneath. I used the "3m" brand tapes to adhear it back on. I sure wish I had a solution for you, maybe the guard could be placed a bit lower to prevent melting. Please let me know of your solution and best wishes.
