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.
Great to be able to set channels again, on an old but stoll fine working TV

Before the First Use
Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven, before using the appliance. Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal. Ensure the room is well ventilated. 1. Switch the oven function control knob to conventional cooking . 2. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX. 4. Open a window for ventilation. 5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes. This procedure should be repeated with the full grill function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Using the Oven
Always cook with the oven door closed. Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the door using the door handle, until it is fully open. The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied with two shelves. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram. It is important that these shelves are correctly positioned as shown in the diagram. Do not place cookware directly on the oven base. Be careful when you insert and remove the grid and the dripping pan from the oven in order not to damage the enamelled surfaces of the oven cavity.
