Powering Appliances Powering Appliances Appliance Wattage Information Use the table below as a guide to determine how much power you will need to run appliances. NOTICE The values provided in the following table are estimates only. • ALWAYS verify actual wattage requirements for appli- ances by checking appliance label, operating manuals, or contacting the manufacturer. • Appliances with electric motors require additional power when starting. Appliance Running Watts Air Conditioner, Window, 6000 btu* 500-1440 Aquarium 50-1210 Clock Radio 10-50 Coffee Maker 900-1750 Computer, CPU & Monitor 125-270 Computer, Laptop 20-100 Dehumidifier* 400-785 Dryer, Electric 1800-6000 Dryer, Gas 300-700 Electric Blanket 60-400 Fan, Ceiling* 65-175 Fan, Window* 55-300 Freezer* 500-700 Furnace* 600-1200 Garage Door Opener 500-750 Hair Dryer 1200-1875 Heater, Portable 750-1500 Iron, Clothes 1000-1800 Light, Incandescent 15-100 Light, Compact Fluorescent 5-25 Microwave Oven 750-1500 Radio, Stereo 70-400 Range, Electric (one burner) 600-1500 Refrigerator, Frost-free, 16 Cubic Feet* 500-725 Sump Pump* 600-1800 Television 65-500 Toaster 800-1650 Toaster Oven 1225-1500 Vacuum Cleaner* 600-1500 VCR/DVD 25-100 Washing Machine 350-1500 Water Pump, Deep Well* 600-1800 TABLE 2. Typical Appliance Running Wattages * Allow up to three times normal running watts for starting this appliance. Appliance Wattage Calculator Use the below area to calculate both the running wattage and additional starting wattage for your appliances. Running wattage is the amount of power needed to run the appliances continually. Additional starting wattage is the power needed to start appliances with electric motors. 1. Select the appliances you wish to power and fill in the Running Watts and Additional Starting Watts columns. These numbers are best obtained from the appliance label, operating manuals, or contacting the manufacturer. The Appliance Wattage Information chart in this manual is also available for reference. 2. Add together the Running Watts and enter the total in the Total Running Watts box. 3. Enter the Additional Starting Watts of the one appliance that uses the highest starting wattage (see gray box below) and enter the number in the Highest Additional Starting Watts box. 4. Add together the Total Running Watts and Highest Additional Starting Watts and enter the total in the TOTAL STARTING WATTS box. 5. Use this number to verify the selected appliances can be powered without exceeding the generator capacity. EXAMPLE Appliance Television Computer, Laptop Air Conditioner, Window Running Watts 65 100 600 Additional Starting Watts --1200 Total Running Watts 765 Highest Additional Starting Watts 1200 TOTAL STARTING WATTS 1965 Generator must produce at least 765 running watts and able to provide 1965 starting watts.
