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.

Fitting the hob to the worktop
Before fitting the hob into the cut out, a sealing gasket supplied with the hob must be fitted to the edge of the cut out. It is essential that no gaps are left in this seal in order to prevent spillage near the hob seeping into the cabinet below. 1) Place the sealing gasket all around the edge of the cut out. 2) Place the hob into the cut out and secure it by means of the relevant fixing clamps and screws, as shown in the diagram. 3) Remove the excess seal The edge of the hob forms a double seal which prevents the ingress of liquids.
