Precautions after installing new clutch packs?

Hello guys,
My '14 got new K1 clutch pack, replaced under warranty(MB dealer).
To fix that, I learned, the tranny has been dismantled(is the term called 'rebuilt'?).

Now, if it is a brand new car, for the first 1000miles or so, I cannot go high RPMs and should not handle it rough...

Now, what are the precautions, that I need to take care, after having new clutch pack? Should I be looking for leaks under the vehicle everyday, for next few days? Should I be driving slowly (not that I drive aggressively anyway, I always drive in E mode, for the matter of fact).

In 1500 miles, I have an oil change coming up anyway, if that matters(A-service is due at 47,xxx, currently at 45,600). Anything else? Do I need to rush for B-Service instead of A?

Thanks for reading.

Picked up the car today.
The SA told me, the car might feel weird for 100-200 miles, as it kind of learning how I drive. So, I let the Distronic Plus take the driving for me(if it thinks I'm driving).
He told me to just use it smoothly for few 100miles and it should be fine.
Due to tranny re-assembling, the transmission fluid has been changed too, but changing it soon is not required.

While accelerating from 5-35 mph at 2500-4000 rpm(don't need to floor it) and release the foot off the gas pedal, with that rpm buildup, the car should shift smoothly, but it jumps when shifting from 2-3 and same with decelerating too.

Turns out, the clutch plates are worn out. Currently at 46kMiles on it; so, they replaced the clutch pack.
