Help with a new mountain bike? - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

Hey, I just got a new Huffy moutain bike today. The left shifter or whatever you want to call it has numbers 1 to 3 on it, with large gaps in between. The right side has numbers 1 to 6 on it. When shifting around, most of the time the chain starts making the clicking sound and the pedalling resistance becomes too light. Is this because the bike is new and needs to be broken in or what? My old Huffy wasn't like this and it's set up the same way, just an older bike. Is there like a proper way to shift it so it rides nicely?
