20 Most Recent Cuisinart BFP-703 SmartPower Duet Food Processor - Page 8 Questions & Answers

You can go to: Food Processors Product Manuals Cuisinart com Find one that is at least close, if they don't have your exact one. The manuals for each shape-size are pretty much the same... so find the one with the closest picture and size. The chrome (DFP-7BC) is probably very close... (I'm guessing yours is the same only in white??)

If the unit works OK with other attachments and the problem is only with the one cup; then the blade may be loose and spins on the shaft, the connection gear under the bottom is worn or binding up. Debris is stuck around the blade shaft or from heating up the metal parts expanded and bind when turning.

Chop no more than the recommended amount at one time. Press and release the PULSE button and check frequently to avoid nuts clumping together in a nut butter. When a recipe calls for flour or sugar, add some to the nuts before you chop, about 1/2 cup for each cup of nuts. This allows you to chop the nuts as fine as you want without turning them into a nut butter. You can also chop nuts with a shredding disc. The optional Fine Shredding Disc is particularly good. For nuts the recommended quantity is usually about 2 - 3 cups.
If after following the steps above the motor still does not roll try the following steps:

Cover may have become unlocked, check to ensure cover is properly placed and locked

Excessive strain may have caused motor to overheat and stop. Wait for the motor to cool, 5-10 minutes. A safety protector in the motor prevents excessive overheating. If the motor stops,
turn machine off. After 5-10 minutes, divide nuts into 2 batches and complete processing.

Amount of nuts may exceed maximum capacity. Remove half, and process in 2 or more batches.
