Normal mowing height for that type grass is 1 to 2 inch.
Wait until it is 3 inch high then mow it to 2 inch. Do this for about 4 mowings then the 5th mowing if you want it shorter than 2 inch mow it before it get 1/3 higher than the height you want. Be sure the blades are sharp so the grass cuts and does not tear. Mulching mowing is best for the first few mowings as the nutrients in the grass will help with the rooting process. Also helps retain mositure.
