Electronic re-ignition on the KM404 keeps sparking until it senses a flame, which is exactly what you want when a pot boils over – and exactly what causes the most common complaint on this cooktop. Liquid bridging a switch makes the unit spark continuously with every burner off. Drying it out usually stops it, and the machine is behaving correctly throughout.
