Then, open the electronic shut off valve (Maxon valve), if so equipped, or open the manual shut off valve on the dryer to allow fuel flow to the dryer.
If using natural gas, make sure an adequate supply is available. Turn on the valve along the supply line. Then, open the electronic shut off valve (Maxon valve). Inspect all gas lines and connections for possible leaks.
Any gas leaks must be fixed immediately!
