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.

DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or scourers on the outside of the appliance as some of the finishes are painted and damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel and oven doors using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent has been added. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately. Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.

Note the position of the trim on the door. 4. Holding the door and glass with one hand, gently pull towards you and slightly lift the door glass with the other hand to disengage the panel from the location point at the bottom of the door. Gently release the door to close it. 5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Hob Brite. Should the inner face of the outer door glass be heavily soiled it is recommended that soapy water with a high concentration of soap is used. To prevent streaking a glass cleaning spray may be applied and the glass polished with a soft cloth. Ensure that all parts are thoroughly dry before attempting to replace the outer door glass.
Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs from the appliance as this may cause damage and is a safety hazard.
