Trying to get my heater to work

I have a Truma gas heater which I am trying to get to work but the instructions diagrams don't match up with the actual dials. I'm assuming it's an S3002 but can't see a model number on the gas heater. I've attached 2 pics of the dials on the top - what do I press in what order to get it started etc.

 

I was going to say please hurry as it's cold but the sun has come out and is doing a good job of heating up the caravan for the moment!

I found that by the time the warm air had been under the caravan to get to the end bathroom it was cold by the time it got there. We never really had much luck using the fan on auto or otherwise on our previous caravan's blown air.

On the Coachman Amara we had it was a cracking heating system. all we ever did was set it the 1000W position and set the fan on manual & 2., invariably we had to turn it off because it got nice and warm inside. Only ever tried it on Gas to test it.

The Whale system on our (new to us) Elddis seems up to the job but is a lot noisier but the vents are only in the middle of the van and bathroom.  Not been cold enough yet to try it out properly but I am a little concerned about how loud the fan is at higher settings.
