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.

Installation
Attaching the chimney extension
The use of a chimney extension, allows the hood to be installed at various distances from the ceiling. NOTE: The extension must be intalled in relationship to the method of venting; Extraction or Recirculation.
^ Remove the protective foil from chimney extension. ^ Bend the top hanging tabs 45° inwards. This will make installing the extension easier. Be careful of sharp edges. Recirculation Air extraction
The extension piece has vented openings on one end. These vents are required for recirculation mode and will be closest to the ceiling when installed. For air extraction, the vents are not required and are covered by the chimney.
Recirculation
Air extraction
^ Pull the chimney extension slightly outwards and snap over the upper retaining plate B. When installing for recirculation, ensure that the vents are positioned so they line up with the diverter.
