I don't have the box open yet, but according to the item's description online, the Energy Guide tag shows 329 kWh Estimated Yearly Electricity Use. That is all that is displayed without opening the box itself.
329/365 is about a 1kw/day. If the fridge has a defrost heater or door strip, that can be disabled/turned off for power savings. 1kw/day is typical for a larger sized fridge.
You can read about watt hour rating of batteries here: Guide to lead acid batteries
You'll probably want enough battery capacity to run the fridge for two days, at least, without charging. If you later add solar charging, it is usual to match the amount of charging to the size of the battery bank. Typical solar to battery capacity charging ratio can be 100w of panel to 100AH of storage.
