Smeg gas cooktop is continually clicking.....going mad,,,,,

Take the burner off and boil it in a pan of boiling water and soap. Leave to cool, rinse and dry. That should fix it. grease is insulating the grounding for the spark. I have come across it many times.

Having said that, how new? Still under warranty? Call them out!

probably find that after so long the igniter is starting to fail
call smeg and see if there is a replacement one available
there may be after market units from your local gas shop

Yes, that is a safety feature and your cooktop is working properly.

Brand new means you have a warranty, get the service agent to check.
I have found that you can easily place the wrong burner cap on the incorrect burner ring(the smaller burner caps).
Could also be dirt or water in burner ring or the burner jet(use needle to clear jet).
Are sparks coming from all ignitors? You might have damaged the spark plug.
