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.

Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan supports. To clean the pan supports regularly remove the marks using a mild abrasive like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you can use a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them thoroughly before you put them back.
When replacing hotplate burner parts
1. Crown to body (Do not try to force the crown on to the body). Check that the two longer location pegs sit in the slots in the body. When the crown is in this position let it fall freely on to the body. Check that the crown can be moved slightly from side to side. 2. Cap to crown Place cap centrally on the top of crown (enamel side up). Move sideways and front to back to check the cap is fitted properly. 3. Check that the burner lights If a burner will not light then you need to check the crown and cap positions.
The grill
Do not clean the grill burner itself. The burner is designed to be self cleaning. Cleaning the grill may cause the holes in the burner to become blocked preventing it from operating correctly. Please note that due to the nature of stainless steel the grill burner may tarnish through use over a period of time. This is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance. Clean the area around the grill frequently using hot soapy water. After use you can soak the pan for a few minutes and then clean it using mild abrasives or a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. The grill shelf and support may be removed for cleaning. Clean regularly with hot soapy water. Mild abrasives can be used if necessary. When you want to replace them make sure both the shelf and support are fitted as shown in the diagrams. 20 20
