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.

Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. The filter should be replaced at least every three months or more frequently if the hood is used more than three hours per day.
To Remove/Replace the Charcoal Filter
1. 2. Remove the metal inlet grille. Carefully turn the disk (C) anti-clockwise and remove the the charcoal filter (B) from the motor support (A) as illustrated opposite. Clean the metal inlet grille and motor support before replacing the charcoal filter. Place the new charcoal filter (B) over the motor support (A), and while holding the filter securely insert the disk (C) and turn clockwise.
3. 4.
Changing the Light Bulb
If the light bulb fails to function check that the bulb is screwed into the holder. If bulb failure has occurred then it should be replaced with a 220-240V 40W clear cylindrical shape bulb with a small E14 screw thread. Charcoal filters, grease filters and light bulbs can be obtained from your local Service Force Centre This appliance can be a fire hazard if the grease and charcoal filters are not replaced as recommended.
