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.

General maintenance Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water, steam or sand. Do not leave the unit where excessive heat could damage such as in a parked car where the heat from the sun can build up even though the outside temperature may not seem too high. It is recommended that the FM band be used were ever possible as better results in terms of quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained than on the MW (AW) band.
