The lower the number the rougher the grit. So start with 1000 and sharpen 20+ times each side of the blade. If your knife is very blunt, you may need to find a stone with lower than 1000 grit. Once sharp with 1000 then you can move to 3000, but 1000 will be enough for most uses. Don't forget to make sure the stone has soaked in cold water for 30mins before you use it.
