How do you use reference books?

Reference books at the research levels often does not include any problem or exercise. While you can't read these books like novels(you normally need to work on other sheet of paper), I'm just wondering if you actually use theorems on books like problems and try to completely prove them on your own on other sheet of paper, or you just read until you understand. I've just started using these sort of books so I'm just curious how do you make sure that you really understand and able to use the materials, or you just use them as references, not as textbooks.
