Hi,

I cant get to an instruction manual for this in the Wiki bit..tried entering the product number also but it still wont have it!

It's not igniting..holding in the dial for 30 seconds then pushing the ignite button quickly a few times but not doing anything..if you let go of the dial and push ignite again then it lights up orange for about 2 seconds before going off..presumably its burning off the bit of gas there...

does anyone have this model fridge or can think of what i might be doing wrong? i've never personally lit it before, someone else did it for me so it has worked before..that was about a year ago tho!

Thanks

Hi, I recently had a similar issue. If you take off the metal cover on the back (three Screws) then remove the little glass cover bit you can clean the gas jets out.
I also took the option to light the burner with a match at this point to make sure the gas was flowing.
When Lighting I have the dial on position 1 and fire her up, after a good clean it seems to work fine now.

I have the instruction manual for my RM212F I don't know what the difference is between the two models. If it is of any help a brief guide to lighting it is:-
1. set voltage regulator switch to "O" ie, is in the central position
2. turn gas control knob so that 3 is opposite the indicator mark
3. push gas control knob in fully for about 5 secs to clear air from pipe
4. still pressing the knob in operate the piezo igniter several times in quick
succession. Continue to press the knob for a further 15 seconds for the
thermo couple tip to heat up.
5. Release gas control knob and check that the burner is alight.

I hope this is of some help
