Turns out the plastic cap snaps onto the plastic container. I disassembled, reassembled, and tried again, turning and pulsing and trying to fit it the right way - more screeching. I turned it on and was greeted by that familiar screeching. The first time I used it, I put everything in place as shown in the diagram. The food processor attachment is tedious to assemble. That cap can't go in the dishwasher, so make sure to set it aside so you don't confuse it with the many other pieces that look similar. The food processor attachment fits on the base with a separate plastic cap with a similar hole that fits on the spindle. All of its associated pieces are machine washable, or you can blend hot water and a little soap. Sadly, the large jar is the easiest of the various accessories to use. Though that worked a majority of the time, a few times I had trouble finding that sweet spot even after several attempts, and it's certainly not good design when, in order to perform a machine's basic functionality, you have to look for a sweet spot. Sometimes, after I noticed the issue, I'd work the spindle in place by doing a quick pulse while pushing down. When you try to blend with the positioning askew, the blades won't turn and the machine will screech like a trapped animal. Worse, you often won't notice as the only telltale sign is a very slight wobble as it sits in place. The jar won't always sit all the way on the spindle and because of the squared lip, you won't be able to help it short of removing the jar and turning the spindle - an imprecise measure at best - or reaching in with a utensil and manually spinning the blades. It's a nice balance of flexible positioning combined with the intention of a secure fit, but it's undone by the spindle that turns blades.
