If you installed it yourself, there migt be something in the instructions that came with it, but if not, perhaps treat it like a new brakes break in. Drive lightly for a couple hundred miles for the friction material to "scrub" in like brake pads do?

No idea really, I just doubt it would be a good idea to pop the clutch the first time out...

dont slip the clutch too much, meaning no hard launching and waht not. do this for about 500miles of city driving, not highway, that doesnt count,
