The LEDs go like this, at least on all but the very early models. There are
two vertical columns of lights. The right hand column indicates the status
of the battery. The top three of the left hand column indicate the water
level in the onboard tank. The bottom light (it is an incandescent light
and not an LED because they didn't have blue lights back then, if your is
original) tells you whether the burner light is lit on the fridge.

There is also a sight glass through the wall of the fridge into the
combustion chamber so you can look directly at the flame. Over  time
experience will tell you what a good robust flame looks like. It should be
a nice even row of blue on the bottom with orange over that. It is a lot
easier to see at night than in the day.

Let me know if you need an overlay with the legend for the indicator light
on it.
