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.

Cleaning Your Toaster
1. Unplug the toaster and let it cool before cleaning. 3. Wipe toaster with a soft, damp cotton cloth. Do not use paper towels, abrasive cleansers or liquid cleaning products. Do not immerse toaster in water. Note: If grease or oil splatters on the toaster, wipe splatters away immediately using a clean, damp cotton cloth. 4. Return crumb tray to toaster. Press it in firmly until it clicks into position. Do not use the toaster without the crumb tray in proper position. Note: KitchenAid does not recommend the use of a toaster cover.
2. Slide out the crumb tray and shake the crumbs into a waste container. It is recommended that the crumb tray be emptied after each use. The crumb tray is dishwasher safe. Remember: the tray will be hot immediately following a toasting cycle.
