Bed them in the way you would bed in any other brakes. Unless the manufacturer states differently.

Try going to a big parking lot (keeping it easy on the brakes on the way there), get it up to 15 mph, brake firmly, but not locking them. repeat a few times. Then up to 25, firm braking, repeat a few times, then to 35, 45, 55, ect.. just give the brakes time to cool in between. overheating is not your friend.

OK here is how you properly bed in your brakes if thats what you want to know.
1. Get up to about 60mph(if you have room) lightly hit your brakes to about 45mph then accelerate back to 60 then do it again about 5 times.
2. Go back to about 60 then hit your brakes hard(don't lock them or let your abs kick on if you have it) to about 10 miles per hour then accelerate back to 60 and do it again probably about 5-6 times until you feel your pedal start to feel soft.
3. Back up to normal driving speed trying to avoid hitting your brakes at all for at least 10 minutes.
4. When you are done you should have a blueish tint(from the heat) and a greyish film(from the pads) over your rotors. It should be all even and smooth. Thats when you know its good to go.
You may need to do this twice but shouldn't have to. Remember never to bring your car to a complete stop or lock up your brakes.
