The specification plate on that GE model freezer says 120 Volts at 1.7 Amps running. So 120V x 1.7A = 204 Watts running. But remember, electrical motors typlically draw about three times the running current when they first start and spin up to speed. So the starting current would be about 1.7A x 3 ~ 5.1 Amps when starting. This is important if you have fuses - be sure to use a Slow-Blow fuse (10 or 15 Amp). If you have circuit breakers then a 15 Amp breaker should be fine. And if you need and extension cord be sure to use one reated at least 15 Amps.
