Clean the gas tube whenever you clean the rifle. A bruch for a .45 auto works, as does a brush for a 20 gauge, IIRC.
You shouldn't find that a break in is necessary.
You can run AKs dry, but running without lubricant accelerates wear.
Lubricate with oil. Do not use grease. Any good oil will do. In a pinch motor oil, and even ATF has been used successfully.
For right now at least lubricate the upper and lower rails, the bolt lugs, the face of the hammer and the sides of the hammer which the trigger engages. When you detail strip it, lubricate everything.
