That depends on your microphone.
Do it like the manual says.  You can do it in TX TEST so you don't
bother others on the air.
First turn compression to zero, then adjust the mic gain until you see 7
bars on the ALC display.
Then increase compression as desired - usually 10% is good.

Thank you both for the info.
Microphone is the one that Elecraft sells for the radio.
And for contesting I use a Heil.
