Finch Fridge - runs lousy on gas

Hi everyone,

I have a secondhand, oldish, 36L Finch Fridge.

It goes great guns on 240v, freezing the ice tray above the evaporator no trouble and keeping the other contents at around zero.

However, when I switch it to gas, it barely works at all.

I don't have any instructions for it, but it seems pretty simple - I am using a 'normal' LP reg (2.8kPa), and there are 3 positions on the gas control - off, big dot, and little dot. Big dot=big flame, little dot=little flame.

So firstly, is there anything I should check?

Secondly, is there some sort of knack to using them on gas (like adjusting flame size at different times etc)?

Finally, can they be serviced? In Melbourne?

This is the second fridge I've owned that won't work on gas, so I'm beginning to think it's all some sort of cruel joke and that it actually can't be done ;o)
