Can any one help

i've got a sibir rc1100 egp 3 way cooler box fridge. It works fine on 240v, ive just connected it up to gas & cant get it to light.

I can see a spark when using the ignitor but no flame - theres a cut out in the bottom left corner of the back

Any know the system or knack to lighting it?

(3 controls - flame knob that also depresses, 0-9 knob with a lightning symbol & the piezo pusg button

So are you depressing the knob on No. 9 while sparking with the gas turned on?

they take a few goes to light, turn elec switch to off and turn gas to 3 and push the gas switch down wait 10 seconds then press igniter repeatedly with 10 second gaps, it'll make a pop sound when it's almost lighting, can be a bit scarey and it will usually light after another ten seconds and then keep switch depressed for another minute before releasing it should then stay lit, recheck after five minutes that still lit as they can sometimes struggle to keep the flame failure device energised and the gas running
on 3 unopened it'll turn into a freezer in a day, 1-2 is normally plenty but it depends on how often it is opened
