Default how do you hook up a generator

I would not tie the generator into the existing wiring at all. Just install
an independent single new outlet wired directly to the generator. Put the
new outlet near the refrigerator. When you have grid outage, start the
generator. Then unplug the fridge from the regular outlet and plug into the
"generator only" outlet.
When the grid comes back, unplug the load from the "generator" outlet, and
return to the grid powered outlets.


If I recall correctly, the OP stated that this home is entirely "off
grid". No mains power to worry about.
