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.

Building In
Building over a cupboard or drawer
If the hob is to be installed above a cupboard or drawer it will be necessary to fit a heat resistant board below the base of the hob on the underside of the work surface. It is also recommended to carry out the electrical connection to the hob as shown in diagrams 1 and 2.

Building over a kitchen unit with door
Proper arrangements must be taken in designing the furniture unit, in order to avoid any contact with the bottom of the hob which can be heated when it is operated. The recommended solution is shown in diagram 3. The panel fitted under the hob ("a") should be easily removable to allow easy access if technical assistance is needed. The space behind the kitchen unit ("b") can be used for connections.
Dimensions are given in mm.

Fitting the Hob into the worktop
Carry out the building in of the hob as follows: 1. put the seals supplied with the hob, on the edges of the cut out, taking care that the seals meet without overlapping; 2. place the hob in the cut out, taking care that it is centred; 3. fix the hob with the relevant fixing clamps and screws, as shown in the diagram. When the screws have been tightened, the excess seal can be removed. The edge of the hob forms a double seal which prevents the ingress of liquids.
