No, a 3-way fridge will only operate off gas when free camping, and 240v when in a caravan park. The battery symbol on the fridge is the hard wire from the car to run the fridge when driving.
In the overhead cupboard with the electrics, you will need to switch off the 240v hot water switch and switch on the gas hot water switch. Once the red light goes out the unit has ignition and will take 15 – 20min to heat up.
Ensure you have the gas bottles on, and water supply to the caravan.
There is a small brass button on the side of the Cooktop. Push it up and down a few times as this can sometimes stick, which prevents gas coming through. You will also need to check that you have sufficient gas in the bottles.
If the caravan has been storage for a long period of time ensure you have sufficient gas in your bottles, run the Cooktop to pull the gas towards the fridge. If after several attempts and the fridge will not fire contact the supplier for further advise on problem shooting. (depending on your fridge-Thetford Australia or Dometic Australia).
Go to the outside of the caravan and check the circuit breaker if in the off-position switch back on, also check your extension lead is in good working order and the plug which it is plugged into is not drawing too much power off the circuit.

Open the battery box under the caravan. You will see battery fuses, check each fuse, and replace if required.
