Hello RFord,
We're not the manufacturer of consumer products, but rather a group of regular people that have expertise about certain products and how to service and repair them locate manuals and schematics, etc.
With that in mind, here's an online copy of the manual for your toaster that you can download for free, directly from the Cuisinart web site that will get you by until you can obtain one from the manufacturer directly.

I'd save a copy on your computer and then you can print it out, if you wish. You can also contact Cuisinart directly and request a manual be mailed to you, as it wasn't included with your toaster.
You can either email or call them. Their toll free phone number is 1-800-211-9604. If you wish, you can also visit the customer support info at this link:

I hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!
