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.

Commissioning
When the hob has been fully installed it will be necessary to check the minimum flame setting. To do this, follow the procedure below. - Turn the gas tap to the MAX position and ignite. - Set the gas tap to the MIN flame position then turn the control knob from MIN to MAX several times. If the flame is unstable or is extinguished follow the procedure below. Procedure:
Re-ignite the burner and set to MIN. Remove the control knob, insert a thin bladed screwdriver down the centre of the gas tap control shaft and turn the adjustment screw until the flame is steady and does not extinguish, when the knob is turned from MIN to MAX. Repeat this procedure for all burners.

Pressure Testing
Remove left hand pan support and front left burner cap and crown. Fit manometer tube over the injector. Turn on the burner gas supply and ignite another burner supply. The pressure reading should be nominally 20mbar and must be between 17 mbar and 25mbar. Turn off the burner supplies.
