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.

Operating sequence
Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend to place a few damp cloths inside the appliance and dry for 20 minutes. There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.
After each use
� Switch the appliance off by turning the programme selector dial to �0�. The mains-ON light goes out. � Clean the filter and empty the water reservoir (see page 13). Important! If the drying programme has to be stopped before it reaches the end, we recommend that you turn the programme selector dial to position (cooling) and wait until the end of this phase before removing the laundry. This will avoid a build-up of heat inside the appliance. Modifying the programme To change a programme which is running, first cancel it by turning the programme selector dial to �0�. Select the new programme and press the Start button .
Drying

If the laundry is not removed at the end of the cycle, the dryer performs an anti-creasing phase (duration: 30 minutes maximum). The buzzer sounds every 10 seconds (if the button has not been pressed). Lights and flash alternately. If you do not remove the laundry, the dryer will stop automatically at the end of the anti-creasing phase. Lights and flash alternately and the mainsON light stays on.
