How to use the scanner

I have bought a Scanner for listening in to aircraft.
It’s a Yupiteru MVT-7100 Multiband Receiver.

Idiots guide from anyone please Help???

What reception mode do I need to be in to receive aircraft please?
On receiver I have the choice: WFM ( Wide FM), FM (NarrowFM), AM, LSB, USB?

For example if I wanted to listen to Doncaster Tower on; 128.7750. Or Doncaster Approach on; 126.2250. How do I set my scanner to receive & listen to the guys talking?
By the way, I live 7 miles from the airport & about 5 miles from where they start their approach.
Any help will be grateful, PM me if you don’t want to share this over the forum please. Thanx in advance for your help.

Trev.
