Default break-in of 40 LA??

Hey, I just recieved my Avistar 40 Select and was wondering how to break in the engine. I read the manual but it was kind of confusing to me. I started it up (needle setting at 1 1/2 turns out), then when warm i went full throttle and opened it up another 180 degrees as say's in the manual. But after that i got confused. do i run it at full throttle the whole time or just for the adjustment. I went on with the "break-in" process. I held the model on the ground and gradually go full throttle for a while and then back down. I did this for a while untill the tank was empty. I was wondering if this is a decent way of doing it before i get it in the air, or if there is a better way i could do it.

thank you for your help
