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.

How the compactor
works
The compacting ram does not go to the drawer bottom. You will not see compacting of the first few loadings.
Compactron starts after the drawer IS about !�J full. YOU may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles may not break at all.
The trash rn a full comF tor t3ag will be about �14 size of its original bulk.
