Whilst this is a photo copy, and some of the pages are a little askew, it was all readable and intact. A real bonus finding an old manual for a classic piece of kit that no other site had.
Great stuff.
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.

The drying rack lets you dry items that you may not want to tumble. The rack does not move, but the drum turns. 1. Fit rear legs of the rack into indentations in the back wall of the dryer.
2. Lower the front so the legs rest on the dryer opening. 3. Put wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between the items so air can reach all surfaces. NOTE: Make sure nothing hangs over the edge of the rack. 4. Close the door.
NOTES: l See the chat-t below for suggested cycles and settings for the different types of items that might best be rack dried.
