Just because it is new, don't assume that it is flat. You can go
through the whole "traditional" routine of planing the bottom and
scraping hollows or just do what works. Put a piece of sandpaper on a
flat surface and sand it flat.

No, I haven't done anything to it. The plane is new so I guess it doesn't
need anything done yet. Anyway I don't have a plane-base-fixing plane (dai
naoshi kanna) so I can't do it. The blade had to be sharpened a bit after I
bought it, but that's all I have done.
