I used to play combo before.. I read horror stories about ohms and blowing up your amp
is this right? I mean, the amp works fine so far.

Should be in the 1 x 8 ohms slot on the amp (usually the left one if it's mono operation like this)!

Middle two from the power amp into left and right and switch to stereo.

Tube heads are sensitive to have their speaker impedances matched up indeed. It won't blow up immediately, but I suspect one of my tube heads sounds like a wood fire when the guitar is silent, due to having a not ideal impedance cabinet connected to it. One of my cabinets is supposed to have 4x 16Ohm speakers. But one is replaced by a 8 Ohm I had lying around, which makes the total impedance around 13 Ohm. Oh well..
Did you know you can attach pictures here as well? Yours was just a tiny bit too large. Anyway, you cabinet can be used mono or stereo.
The label on the back says: 8 Ohm @ mono - 16 Ohm @ stereo.
I see you have one speaker lead, so you're going for mono.
That would be either one of the middle "1 x 8 Ohm" outputs of the amp.
When two cabinets are plugged in to the same output of the amp, the resulting impedance is half of that of a single cabinet. So if you have two cabinets of 8 Ohm each, these need to be plugged into the 4 Ohm output of the amp.
