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.

Salt refill indicator
In the cap of the salt container there is a green float (fig.3) which is clearly visible on the small window of the cap when the salt is inside the container, and almost disappears when the salt is finished (i.e. every 20÷40 washes depending on the setting of the water softener).
The rinse-aid
The rinse-aid ensures brilliant crockery and also helps it to dry. It is automatically dosed in during the hot rinsing cycle. The storage compartment built in to the in side of the door can hold about 110 ml of rinse-aid, which will be sufficient for between 16 and 40 dish-washing programmes, according to the dosage setting.
Filling up the rinse-aid
Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise (Fig. 4). Pour the rinseaid into the filler opening until the indicator (B) on the side of the cover turns completely dark (i.e. until the container is full)

Tighten firmly the cover. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. Rinse-aid replenishment indicator You must top up again with rinse-aid when the display window on the rinseaid dispenser (Fig. 5) shows a dark spot surrounded by a bright ring. When the rinse-aid dispenser is full, the indicator (B) on the rinse aid dispenser (Fig. 5) appears uniformly dark (after about 70-80 ml).
