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.

About the Controls on the Air Conditioner
This automatically controls the temperature of the indoor air. Turn the knob so that the arrow points to the larger marks for greater cooling. Point the arrow to the smaller marks for more moderate cooling. (i.e. the higher the number, the greater the cooling)
s FOR NORMAL COOLING 1. Turn the operation switch to the High Cool or the Low Cool setting. 2. Set the thermostat control to the desired temperature mark 5 (the mid-point is a good starting position). If the room temperature is not satisfactory after a reasonable time, adjust the control to a cooler or warmer setting, as appropriate. s FOR MAXIMUM COOLING 1. Turn the operation switch to the High Cool setting. 2. Set the thermostat control to the highest (9) temperature mark. s FOR QUIETER OPERATION 1. Turn the operation switch to the Low Cool setting. 2. Set the thermostat control as needed. s CAUTION When the air conditioner has performed its cooling operation and is turned off or set to the fan position, wait at least 3 minutes before resetting to the cooling operation again.
