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.
A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.

As a result, approx. 1 litre of water will be displaced. - Remove salt from around the opening of the dis penser. - Close the salt dispenser by turning the cap until the stop is reached. - Immediately run the "Pre-rinse"program to wash away any salt residues.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is. The softener should be adjusted according to the hard ness of the water in your area.

The arrow must point to a number and the po sition must be engaged positively.
