An induction cooktop is a type of electric cooktop that uses electromagnetism to heat cookware, essentially turning the cookware into its own source of heat. Because these cooktops heat cookware with electromagnetism, the system is highly efficient, allowing for a rapid rise or drop in temperature. This often leads to faster cooking, especially in pots – water will usually come to a boil much faster on most induction cooktops.

To use the cooktop:

1. Place the induction-compatible cookware (with water, oil, or food already inside) on the cooking element. Turn on the induction cooktop by pressing the POWER button. 
2. Press the HEAT key once. The default setting is level 5 (medium) so use the +/- keys to select heat levels from 1-10. You may change the heat setting at any time during cooking.
3. You may instead choose a pre-set temperature with the TEMP button. The +/- keys will allow you to select temperatures of 150F, 180F, 210F, 240F, 270F, 300F, 330F, 360F, 390F, 420F, or 450F. You may change the temperature setting at any time during cooking.
4. Time your cooking by pressing the TIMER button and using the +/- keys to select the cooking time by 1-minute intervals. Induction cooktops are more efficient than their electric and gas counterparts, meaning dishes will cook faster. As such, keep a close eye on your cooking station as you get used to this quicker method. You can adjust the timer duration at any time using the +/- keys.
5. BE SURE TO USE OVEN MITTS OR POT HOLDERS WHEN HANDLING HOT COOKWARE.
6. Make sure the cooktop is off when not in use. Press the POWER button to shut off the appliance. The cooktop will shut off automatically after 150 minutes of use. IF THE DISPLAY SHOWS "H", THE COOKING ZONE IS STILL HOT. Exercise caution.

A convection oven has a fan and exhaust system that a regular oven does not. The fan and exhaust help blow hot oven air over and around the food, then vent it back out. As a result, this hot air surrounds the food so that it cooks evenly and more quickly. The convection oven will brown food better than a regular oven, while being more energy efficient because it can cook at a lower temperature, more quickly.

Convection ovens are ideal for roasting, baking pies and pastries, making cookies, and toasting or dehydrating.

To use the oven: 

1. Adjust shelves to desired heights.
2. Turn on the oven with the thermostat knob and preheat the oven to about 25°F lower than you normally would use.
3. Turn the timer knob counterclockwise to the "Stay On" selection while preheating. Timer may then be turned clockwise to the desired cooking time.
4. Check earlier: Because food cooks more quickly on convection, check on it two-thirds or three-quarters of the way through the recommended cooking time and make any necessary adjustments.
5. Make sure air can circulate: Convection is only effective if the air can circulate well over the food. Use trays, roasting pans, and baking pans with lower sides, and don’t cover the oven shelves with foil.
6. BE SURE TO USE OVEN MITTS OR POT HOLDERS WHEN REMOVING ITEMS FROM OVEN.
7. The oven will automatically shut off the heater after timer reaches zero. Be sure to turn the power off if removing food before timer reaches zero or if using the "Stay On" function.

The Ninja Professional BL610 features a robust 1000-watt motor and razor-sharp blades, plus proprietary Total Crushing Technology for fast, efficient, and thorough results. Three different blending speeds make it easy to whip up just about anything. 

To use the blender:

1. Lower the pitcher onto the motor base. Rotate the pitcher to the left as far as it will go. As the pitcher rotates, it will lower and the safety tabs on the bottom of the pitcher will slide under the safety tabs on the top of the motor base. Holding the Stacked Blade Assembly by the shaft, place it onto the gear shaft inside the pitcher. Ensure that the Stacked Blade Assembly fits around the gear shaft and that the blade shaft is standing straight. NOTE: The Stacked Blade Assembly will fit loosely on the drive gear. 
2. Add the ingredients to the pitcher, liquids first then solids. Make sure your total of ingredients doesn’t go higher than the highest measured marking line on the side of the pitcher. NOTE: When blending any kind of liquids, such as mixtures of any drinks or smoothies, do not exceed the “Max liquid” mark (64 oz.) on the pitcher.
3. Holding the lid by the handle in the upright position, place it on top of the pitcher aligning the arrow located on the lid with the arrow located on the bowl’s handle. 
4. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet and press the power button. IMPORTANT: As a safety feature, the motor will not work if the pitcher and lid are not installed correctly. When the pitcher and lid are installed properly, the ready light will be solid green, indicating that the blender is ready for use.
5. Select the speed according to your blending requirements:  
   • Use the LOW button for processing and mixing. 
   • Use the MEDIUM button for blending and ice crushing. 
   • Use the HIGH button for pureeing and liquefying. 
   • Use the PULSE button for controlled chopping and processing. 
   • NOTE: If you need to add additional ingredients while the blender is processing, open the pouring spout cap and pour the ingredients in through the opening. 
6. Press power button to stop the Stacked Blade Assembly or press a different button to change the speed. 
7. To remove the pitcher, press the power button to turn the appliance 'Off'. Wait for the Stacked Blade Assembly to stop moving before removing. WARNING: Never insert your hands in the pitcher as the Stacked Blade Assembly is sharp. Always use a spatula to dislodge food that has stuck to the sides of the pitcher. Turn the pitcher counterclockwise then lift up and off the base.
8. Open the pour spout cap and use the spout to empty liquid contents. For thicker consistencies, first remove the lid by pressing the release button and pulling the lid handle up to a 90-degree angle to lift lid off the pitcher. Then, carefully remove the Stacked Blade Assembly by the top of the shaft. Place Stacked Blade Assembly away from the work area to avoid accidental contact. Finally, empty contents from the pitcher. 
9. Unplug the blender when finished.
