Pugstub,
Everything is totally automatic. The biasing adjusts itself for each individual tube. This makes things nice since it will continue changing the bias so that up until the point the tube dies it should sound the same as when it was NOS. Nifty little DC biasing circuit they installed in the amp.
The only suggestion is make sure to lower the volume down all the way each time you turn it off. That way you'll remember to have it all the way down when it turns on. Audio Valve mentions this as a good way to prevent tube or amp damage as this thing puts out 3 watts of power.
