Customize is your friend.

    M-x customize-variable RET org-refile-targets RET

If you hae trouble to understand from the docstring how a variable
should be customized, the customize interface ofives you a different

with `C-h v' - maybe then you understand the lisp structure better so
that next time, you may used it!?
