Just set your ISO dial to whatever the number on the box says, as others mentioned, & my tip is to make sure the film rewind lever on the left is rotating when you cock the shutter. Since I always try to squeeze an extra frame or 2 out of a roll on my K1000, sometimes I don't stick the end of the film far enough into the sprocket wheel & it doesn't engage! Sometimes it takes a few frames for the lever to start turning if the film was loose in the can (sometimes I turn the winder on the can back a bit to take up slack), but if it's not going around by the time you've advanced 3 or 4 times you might want to check that the film was properly started.
Sorry if that's a dumb obvious thing... it's just that I've done it now & then & usually when I was in a hurry to get some great shot...!
