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.

Getting the best results
Carpets: Use floor nozzle with lever in this position. Hard floors: Use floor nozzle with lever in this position. Loose rugs/curtains/lightweight fabrics: Reduce the suction power. Use the floor nozzle for loose rugs and the upholstery nozzle for curtains, cushions etc. Confined areas: Use the crevice nozzle for tight corners and radiators etc.
