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.
Good quality instructions manual. Very useful to me. Quick and excellent service from Owner-Manuals... Thanks !!!
