Try sweetwise.com , the manufacturers of the mat.  They have videos.  That's what I watched.

I got the mat awhile ago but the first time I used it I didn't put anything on it. It worked just fine as it was.

Oh yes, thats something you can't forget. Getting the print on the fondant is annoying.

I thought I read on their site that with the new mats, you don't need to season them, but I can't remember for sure.  I didn't season mine and it worked fine.
