I would set it to 200 ohms, and then hold the two leads together, and adjust
the meter needle (zero adjustment) so that the meter reads full value, or
full continuity.

Whcn checking the fuse, you are not looking for a specific ohm value. You
are just looking for circuit continuity. So, you adjust your meter first,
by holding the two leads together, and adjusting your meter, and then do the
same with the two blades of the fuse, and if the fuse is good, you should
get full continuity. Either you do or you don't, and that will tell you if
the fuse is bad (open) or good (full continuity).

Stated differently, a bad fuse will show no reading (open), and a good fuse
will show continuity (full meter reading).
