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.

General Instructions � Insert the tray with the bevel at the front. � With Conventional you can also bake with two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase the baking time.
When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the distortion will disappear again. How to use the Baking Tables The tables give the required temperature settings, baking times and oven shelf levels for a selection of typical dishes. � Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the consistency of the pastry, mixture or dough and the number and the type of baking tin. � We recommend using the lower temperature the first time and then if necessary, for example, if a deeper browning is required, or baking time is too long, selecting a higher temperature. � If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the one that is most similar. With longer baking times, the oven can be switched off about 10 minutes before the end of baking time, to make use of the residual heat. Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that cooking is started with the oven cold.
