How do I test DC leakage from my SS integrated amp?

Hi, all.
With a subject heading like that, clearly I'm not an engineer. That being said...
I'm trying to test if my Krell integrated amp burned the voice coils of my speakers due to excessive DC leakage. I need to find out if the DC ouput exceeded 50 milivolts.
So I purchased an 8 range multitester from RadioShack. I know the tester works because I tried it on a AAA battery.
Now, where do I place the pins to test the DC volts from my amp? Second, when mesuring milivolts, is the best setting DCV 15 (the lowest I have) ? Then, which gauge DC VmA, ACV?
Thanks in advance for your help.
