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.
A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.

Mixing Time
Your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other electric Stand Mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in most recipes must be adjusted to avoid overbeating. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other Stand Mixers.
Mixer Use
WARNING
Injury Hazard Unplug mixer before touching beaters. Failure to do so can result in broken bones, cuts or bruises. NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while Stand Mixer is operating. The bowl and beater are designed to provide thorough mixing without frequent scraping. Scraping the bowl once or twice during mixing is usually sufficient. Turn unit off before scraping.
The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended mixing time, you may not be able to comfortably touch the top of the unit. This is normal.
