Hello- Thank you for your question. The rating plate often lists the power in amps instead of watts. You can find the watts by using the Amps x Volts = Watts equation. Keep in mind, refrigerators and freezers place a high demand on the power source when the compressor cycles on. This is commonly known as the "surge power". When sizing a generator, make sure it can cover the surge power (approximately 2X the running power, and lasts only a second or two). Your local home improvement store or retailer that sells generators should have good online resources for choosing a generator. They also provide safety and usage tips. Generator manufacturers can also assist you with proper sizing and are a good resource to use when determining the appropriate generator for your needs. Thank you! Joyce@GEA
