How to wire an inverter?

With my new AGM batteries on the way, I'm looking into getting an inverter or a charger/inverter. Ultimately I'd like to be able to run the microwave every now and then from the inverter/battery. I'm seriously considering the Xantrex Freedom HFS inverter/charger.

Given the following wiring diagram, how should I wire an inverter charger?



Ideas?

    OK, before you get started have you thought this thru thoroughly?
    A 1000 watt microwave will consume 8.3 A@ 120VAC or approx 83DC amps. Not counting losses, that means a 200 AH battery draining to approx 50% discharge gives you about 10 minutes run time by my calculations.
