Several unsuccessful attempts can lead to an accumulation of unburned gas and subsequent successful ignition can cause a burst of flame; and a risk of CO poisoning because- there is no marking on the appliance about the pressure, which can cause deficient combustion leading to a build-up of CO, - CO concentration of the neutral combustion gases is 0.2189%, which exceeds the requirement of 0.2%.The product does not comply with the Gas Appliances Directive and the relevant European standard EN 14543.
