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
Fixing the hood into a cabinet
This cooker hood is designed to be fitted to a cabinet or similar support. � Create an opening in the bottom of the cabinet to insert the cooker hood (1-2). � Make a hole on the top of the cabinet to fit the hose and for the electrical cable (3). � Fit a hose (4) long enough to reach the outside (if the hood is used in the extractor version) or the top of the cabinet (if the hood is used the hood in the recirculation version). � Remove the frame by pushing the two side release keys (5-6). � Fix the coupling ring on the exhaust hole of the hood and make connection with the bottom end of the hose (7a-b), seal with tape. Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased separately. � Prepare the electrical connection (8). � Fit the hood into the opening and fix securely to the cabinet with 8 screws (9). � Fit the frame (10 - snap into place).
