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.

Variable Storage Box
Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways. The variable box can be hung from a storage shelf in the refrigerator compartment: 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. 2. Hang the retaining bracket on the taper on the storage shelf and slide the storage shelf back into the guides.
Correct storage
For physical reasons, there are different temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage shelf, the vegetable drawer and the storage compartments on the door. The length of storage time depends on the type of food - see manufacturer�s instructions. Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food. The following are suited for packaging: � Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps; � Plastic containers with lids; � Special plastic covers with elastic; � aluminium foil.
Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost evaporates by itself. 21
