How do I know my MacBook Pro 13" is charging for the first time?
Do you have the BAT icon in the upper right menu bar?

As it's brand new I wanted to fully charge it before switching on so the lid is still closed at the moment. The adapter is slightly warm though.
Why? There is never a need to charge for any specific amount of time prior to using.
You can charge at anytime, for any amount of time.
You can use it while charging.
You can leave it attached to the charging circuit after the battery reaches 100%
If you are near an AC outlet, use it on AC power. If you need portability, use it on battery power.

Well there is no need — but if you insist, I would say 8 hours to be safe.
The adapter will always be warm.
