Well, just put planes on her. Red planes for damage in shelling phase, blue planes for damage in the aerial combat phase, green planes are used to shoot down enemy fighters so they don't shoot down your planes and save some bauxite. Saiun, the yellow plane (you probably don't have any yet) will prevent you from being red T-crossed and also give a buff.

Normally, to sortie you just put a figher (green plane) on her bigger slot and in the others put 2 red and one blue plane but since Zuikaku's slots are really balanced it doesn't really matter. When you advance more in the game you will face much more Wos and Nus so at that moment start putting more green planes to get air superiority/supremace and reduce bauxite cost.
