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.

� If used improperly, batteries may explode or leak and cause damage or injury. In the interest of safety, please read and observe the following precautions (p. 28). 1 � Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and make sure you observe the correct polarity. 3 � Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time.
� If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge from the battery compartment. Then install new batteries. To avoid inflammation of the skin, make sure that none of the battery discharge gets onto your hands or skin. Exercise the utmost caution so that none of the discharge gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the affected area with running water if any of the discharge has entered the eyes. 6 � Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc. ..................................................................................

� Used batteries must be disposed of in compliance with whatever regulations for their safe disposal that may be observed in the region in which you live.
