If you find that there's too much demand on the generator, you can just unplug one or more of the appliances. Coffee pots and clothes irons really draw a lot of power, careful with those. Your generator should come with a circuit breaker if the demand exceeds its limit.
If you're planning on wiring the generator to your electrical panel, I highly recommend hiring an electrician who can advise you what circuits to connect.
