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.
Great to be able to set channels again, on an old but stoll fine working TV

Using the Appliance
Before Use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5 ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or products containing alcohol.
F To Start the Appliance
1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hrs after installation. 2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply. 3. Turn the thermostat control to the required setting. A setting of 3 - 4 is usually suitable for normal operation (see thermostat control). 4. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.
Thermostat Control
The thermostat control situated inside the refrigerator regulates the temperature of the larder compartment. Thermostat control is marked from 1-5 the higher the number, the colder the setting. Position 0 Position 1 Position 5 Model TB 55 R - Off - minimum coldness - maximum coldness If the ambient temperature is greater than +25 °C Position of drip tray Open (pos. 1)
The temperature inside the refrigerator and the 2-star compartment can be regulated by adjusting the tray located under the 2-star compartment. To obtain a lower temperature in the 2-star compartment when frozen food is stored inside and when the ambient temperature is 25 °C or lower push the tray in Position 2. When frozen food is not stored in the 2-star compartment and when the ambient temperature is higher than 25 °C pull the tray out to Position 1.
