Need to know what wires you have in the electrical box. I would guess you have a white, red and black, plus a ground.
If so, wire the ground to the fan green. Then the white to the fan white. Then the black to the fan black and the red to the fan blue.
For aluminum wiring, you need to use wire nuts rated for copper and aluminum; you should be able to get them at a home center. Otherwise, you need to use the No-ox compound on the wires. This is very important or you could end up with a bad connection. It would be ok for a while and then would get intermittant.
