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.
Sono molto soddisfatto e, quando mi necessiterà, mi avvarrò nuovamente di questo servizio!

Storage Shelf
The shelf inside the appliance has a flap on the left side that makes storing large sized bottles possible. The door shelves taken out of appliance can be used for serving foods (fruit, salads, etc.)
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage times indicated. Do not open the ice-making compartment door too often and do not leave open longer than necessary. Important In the event of a power cut the food in the icemaking compartment will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the compartment is full. Do not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be refrozen.
The Ice-making Compartment
This compartment is suitable for the storing of commercially frozen food and for making and storing ice cubes.
Hints & Tips
Food Storage
To obtain the best results from your appliance neither hot foods nor liquids which may evaporate, should be placed in the refrigerator. Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item. Do not store food uncovered. Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean, refer to Cleaning and Maintenance.
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator. Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the cabinet are not obstructed. Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge. Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods, or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly. It is advisable to periodically clean the refrigeration system at the back of the appliance with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
Frozen food storage
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightforward. The packs can be placed beside each other or on top of each other. You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen food in the compartment as quickly as possible after purchase and we therefore recommend that you buy them last. Also ensure that the external packaging is intact.
