You just have to connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as the TV, then press the cast button in an app and select the TV from the list.

Because Chromecast is a Google service, you must log into a Google account on the TV for it to work, however apps only mode hides the home screen ads and myactivity.google.com lets you disable the tracking.
