I wondered why this was rated a 4 star when it was so helpful, until I got to the part where it suggests testing the vent hood with a smoking stick of incense. The vent hood is shown in fig. A. Where the heck is fig. A??? It's not shown in the first image, 1 of 14, and I don't see lettered figures. I experienced this problem when reading about how to clean a dryer and vent- reference to a picture that was not there. Maybe you could crowd the needed info in between all the advertising?
