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.

Pans should be the same size or larger than the surface unit to prevent boil-overs and hot handles.
Only use pans wlth flat bottoms. Flat bottoms allow maximum contact between the pans and surface units for fast, even cooking. Pans with uneven bottoms or with a raised battern on the bottom are not suItable: Flatness of a pan can be checked by placing an edge of a ruler across it. There should not be space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.
Do not use trlvets, bottoms.

Canning Kit
(Part NO. 242905)
The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can shorten the life of regular surface units and cause damage to the cooktop. If you plan to use the cooktop for canning, we recommend the installation of a Canning Kit. Order the kit from your Whirlpool Dealer or Tech-Care� Service Company. See the Cooking Guide for important canning information.
