Default Breaking in a clutch

After buying a car with a poorly broken in clutch, I had to change it and now want some opinions on how to break in the new one that just got put into the car. I still only drove it from the shop to my house but what should I do in terms of punching it, taking off, simply proper maintence for a new clutch. Its a SPEC Stage 1 clutch and Im staying stock for a while so that's all I pretty much needed.

THanks guys.

Easy shifting for 500 miles; this is my 4th clutch. This one ( clutchmasters ) has lasted 20K. No high ( above 4500rpm ) shifts. I know 500 miles is a lot, but it's worth it.
