 I have the same problem on my Gagge-naubueno cook top. I sometimes have to blow at a burner to make it light, as if the damned thing was 80 years old.
There's a safety feature built in that requires the knob to remain depressed until a sensor near the flame heats up to a certain point. If you let up on the knob before then, the flame will go out. Since Bosch owns Gaggenau, I wonder if your cook top has a feature that works similarly (likely better) but has developed issues. | ||

I have a 24 year old Frigidaire Gallery Gas-On-Glass cooktop, and as I recall, the thing needs to be plugged into a power outlet to keep the igniters going. When I installed it, I put an outlet under the counter-top just for the igniters.
During a power outage, though, I can just use a BBQ lighter instead, and when we were having our rolling power blackouts in California some years ago, around 2001 during the Enron debacle, that's what I did. So far I haven't noticed any problems with the igniters when there is power. | ||

Prior to the Siemen's I had a glass on glass KA gas cooktop. Still have it, had planned on parting it out just never got around to it. Worked but the individual grates and disk got pretty sad looking. | ||
