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 !!!

Part 1 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.4 - Choice of operating mode
a) Evacuation mode To check that the hood is set up for evacuation, open the grille panel and make sure that the conversion lever or the change-over knob on the centrifugal unit is in the DUCTING position (B). The charcoal filter is not required. For ducting to the outside, the hood is supplied with a rear and top outlet. A flange spigot of 100 mm diameter (120 mm in certain models) is usually fitted on the top outlet and a blanking plug on the rear outlet. If you choose to duct the hood from the rear of the casing, you should invert the position of the flange and of the blanking plug. Pay attention to the safety regulation 1.1. b) Internal recirculation mode To check that the hood is set up for recycling, open the grille panel and make sure that the conversion lever or the change-over knob on the centrifugal unit is in the RECYCLING position (A). The charcoal filter is to be fitted. To fit the charcoal filter, support the filter with one hand and turn the thumb screw through the centre of the charcoal filter. If the filter is of the interlocking type, turn the filter clockwise. The hood can remain connected to the outside.
2.5 - Electrical connection and working test
1 - The safety measures 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 of paragraph 1 are to be strictly observed. 2 - Once the electrical connection has been completed, check that the worktop illumination, motor and speeds work properly.
