This is what Celestion recommends on their web site:
Important Note! Before breaking it in it's advisable to "warm up" the
speaker gently for a few minutes with low-level playing or background hum.
Break in a speaker with a fat, clean tone: turn up the power amp volume to
full, and control the level with the preamp gain. Use a level that will be
quite loud, but not painful in a normal size room.
Have the bass and mid up full, and the treble at least half. On your guitar,
use the middle pick up position (if your guitar has more than one pick up)
and play for 10-15 minutes using lots of open chords, and chunky percussive
playing. This will get the cone moving, and should excite all the cone modes
and get everything to settle in nicely. The speaker will continue to mature
over the years, but this will get it 95% of the way to tonal perfection in
the shortest time.

Incrementally increase the volume over a period of time until you
reach max playing volume.
