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.

rack
4. Select the Timed drying cycle (and temperature, if needed) or the Fluff Air cycle (see page 7). 5. Push the Start Button.
The drying rack lets you dry items that you may not want to tumble. The rack does not move, but the drum turns. 1. Fit rear legs of the rack into indentations -in the back wall of the dryer. Lower the front so the legs rest on the dryer opening.
2. Put wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between the items so air can reach all surfaces. NOTE: Make sure nothing hangs over the edge of the rack. 3. Close the door.

Lint signal
(on some models)
NOTE: Clean your lint screen before each load. Do not wait for the lint signal. The lint signal (a whistle tone) indicates excessive lint is present on your lint screen. A full lint screen restricts airflow and reduces drying efficiency. When you hear the signal, stop the dryer and clean the lint screen. 12
