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.
Text excerpt from page 7 (click to view)
not be affected if the power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is recommended to consume the food within a very short time. Important In the event of a power failure causing the temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re-freeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you: Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded. Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and used up.
Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger. Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up quickly. Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up. Large Pieces of Meat: can be refrozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them. Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-frozen as cooked dishes. Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish.
To remove the drawers, proceed as follows: pull the drawer out until it comes to a stop, then tilt it upwards (see figure).
