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.
Great to be able to set channels again, on an old but stoll fine working TV

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
RECOVERING AN OBJECT THAT FALLS BETWEEN THE DRUM AND THE TUB
If accidentally an object falls between the drum and the tub you can recover it thanks to a removable plastic lifter: 1. Unplug the appliance. 2. Remove the laundry from the drum. 3. Close the drum flaps and turn the drum to the opposite of the flaps. 4. Press the plastic tip while sliding the plastic lifter from left to right. The plastic lifter will fall into the drum. 5. Open the drum: through the hole inside the drum you can recover the object. 6. Refit the plastic lifter from inside the drum: Position the plastic tip above the hole on the right side of the drum. Then slide the plastic lifter from right to left until it clips. 7. Plug in the appliance to the electrical outlet.
