The Case For Requiring Auto Reignition As A Safety Feature
Auto reignition lowers the risk of gas leaks:
- if a flame goes out during operation, for example, from vibration or a gust of wind
- due to misoperation—a user might not understand the "lite" position must be maintained for about 0.5 to 2 seconds before turning the burner knob on fully. The user might, as a result, turn the burner knob on quickly past the "lite" position without the burning actually igniting and leave the kitchen; thus leaving the gas burner leaking gas into the room.
This feature is especially valuable on gas burners with several different short-term users, less likely to bother with or learn multi-step procedures—for example, gas ranges in rental properties, guest houses, or in office kitchens.

“Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his dwelling! I would lay my case before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. I would learn what he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me. Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No; but he would give heed to me. There an upright person could reason with him, and I should be acquitted forever by my judge.”

Surveyed my chamber floor,
In feature as the worm before,
But ringed with power.”
