You want to set the bias at 70% of max plate dissipation. For a 6L6 I think the Max is 30w per tube so 70% is around 21w. You would have to measure your plate voltage and then based on that plate voltage.
There are some bias calculators our there that do the math for you. I think this is the equation:
Idle Current = (max plate dissipation / plate voltage) * .7 (70%). Anyhow, you can look up the steps on how to do it.
I think a safe number is around 30-35mA, but to be sure, you really need to measure the plate voltage, etc.
