Thanks to Owner-Manuals.com! This manual was exactly what I needed. As Amana was purchased by Maytag and later by Whirlpool, there was no way to receive it from their websites. I was lucky to find this resource.
Good quality instructions manual. Very useful to me. Quick and excellent service from Owner-Manuals... Thanks !!!

Operating Instructions
Startingyourwasher
Be sure to measure and add detergent, then place a sorted load in the washer before starting it. 1. Select a load size . Position the Load Size Selector at the setting that describes the size of load you want to wash. l The selector can be set anywhere on or between EX SMALL (a few small items) and EX LARGE (a full load). l To change the water level after the washer has started to fill, slide the selector to RESET, then to the desired water level. NOTE: For best washing results, items should move freely in the washer. Do not overload the washer or choose a water level that is too low for your wash load. For best results with permanent press clothes, use the EX LARGE water level. Reduce wash time when using EX SMALL or SMALL water level settings. Loads with only a few small items need less wash time for best results. 2. Touch a temperature selection l Match the water temperature to the type of fabric and soils being washed. l The top temperature is the wash selection and the bottom temperature is the rinse selection. l An indicator shows which temperature has been selected. NOTE: Use warm wash water with the PERMANENT PRESS or KNITS GENTLE Cycles. For heavily soiled permanent press or knit clothes, pre-soak before washing in warm water. ALWAYS use cold rinse water for permanent press fabrics.
