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.
A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.

Energy saving tips
You can help save energy if you:
1. Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dishwasher uses the same amount of electricity and hot water as a fully loaded machine.
2. Use the LOW ENERGY WASH Cycle whenever possible. It uses less hot water and energy than otherwash cycles.
3. Air dry dishes drying cycle. (overnight).
when you don�t need a rapid Allow longer drying times
4. load correctly for best washing results. Incorrect loading may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all or part of the load. 5. Don�t pre-rinse normally soiled dishes. Select the correct cycle for the load and use the recommended amount of detergent for good washing results without hand rinsing. 6. Use your dlshwasher during off-peak hours. Local ufilitles recommend this to avoid heavy usage of energy at certain times of day 7. Kitchen cleanup can be done quickly and efficiently through the use of your dishwasher. Most appliance parts that can fit in the dishwasher can be cleaned by it. Burned-on soil, however, should be cleaned by hand.
