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.
A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.

The washing machine stops automatically once the cycle is finished, the on/off lamp goes off. Open the door 3 minutes after the end of the program to give the safety device time to unlock. Push the program selector in, close the tap, and unplug the appliance. Leave the door ajar for a few minutes for the steam to get out.
IMPORTANT REMARK: This appliance is provided with a security device to avoid opening during the cycles. Open it only when absolutely necessary and wait 3 minutes after you have stopped the machine to give the safety device time to unlock.
