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.

THINGS TO NOTE
· · · · · · ·
This appliance is designed to be fitted between cabinets with the recommended dimensions as shown in Fig. 3 & 4. If there is an existing housing unit it must be removed. The dimensions given provide adequate air circulation around the unit within the cabinet, ensuring compliance with BS EN60-335. This appliance must not be installed on a wooden base board. Enquiries regarding the installation of the cooker point, if required, should be made to your Regional Electricity Company to ensure compliance with their regulations. The cooker point should be within 2m of the appliance to make it accessible to switch off the appliance in case of an emergency. To protect the hands, wear gloves when lifting the oven into its housing. Do not lift the appliance by the handles. Fig. 4 Fig. 3
NOTE: HOUSE CIRCUIT Earth leakage / continuity tests must be carried out before the appliance is connected to the mains supply and re-checked after fitting.
PREPARING CABINET FOR FITTING OVEN
· · · · · · ·
Make sure the space between the cabinets is the correct size for the appliance to be fitted (Ref. Fig. 5 & 6). The plinth board spanning the space into which the appliance is to be installed should be removed. If the size between adjacent cabinets is 605610mm, then the cabinets should be modified so that the recommended dimension of at least 600605mm is maintained. The adjacent cabinets must be stable and firmly secured to the wall or floor. If necessary, make arrangements to ensure the work surface below which the oven will rest is level. Drill two pilot screw holes into the sides of the adjacent cabinets, in the positions indicated by Fig. 5. Fit the appliance mounting brackets using the two holes indicated in Fig.7 to the adjacent cabinets (Ref. Fig.5 & 6). Check that the mounting brackets are level. They can be adjusted if necessary by using the extra holes at the ends of the brackets. Once the brackets are level, drill a pilot hole through the central hole in the bracket and fit the remaining screw. Fig. 6 Fig. 5
