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.

9. CHECKING THE MAIN OVEN
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Turn the oven thermostat knob to Mk 9 and press the ignition button. As soon as the burner is alight the button can be released. There should now be a low gas rate to the burner, which is the F.S.D. by pass rate. When the F.S.D. phial has heated up it opens the F.S.D. valve which allows the main gas supply to the oven burner. Set the oven control to Mk 2, close the oven door and check that after about 10 minutes the flame size has reduced. Turn off the control and check that the oven flames go out.
10. CHECKING THE SECOND OVEN
1.
2. 3. 4. 5.
Turn the second oven thermostat control knob anticlockwise to Mk8 and press the ignition button. As soon as the burner is alight the button can be released. When the oven burner lights up there should be a low gas rate at first to the oven burner which is the F.S.D. by-pass rate. When the F.S.D. phial has heated up it opens the F.S.D. valve and the main gas stream flows to the burner. Set the oven control to Mk. 2, close the oven door and check that after approx. 10 minutes the flame size has reduced. Turn off the control knob and check that the oven flames go out.
