Frequently Asked Questions - RJ48 Chefman

How do I switch between cooling and warming modes?

First slide the switch to OFF, wait at least 5 minutes, then slide to COLD or HOT as desired. The green LED indicates cooling mode and the red LED indicates warming mode.

Can I use this cooler at home?

Yes, the Chefman RJ48 comes with a power adapter that plugs into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. You can also use it in a car by plugging into the 12V DC cigarette lighter socket.

How do I clean the cooler?

Wipe the interior and exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Do not immerse the unit in water or place any parts in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before use.

Why does the cooler not get as cold as a refrigerator?

This is a thermoelectric cooler, which cools about 40°F (22°C) below ambient temperature. It is designed to keep items cool, not freeze them. Pre-chill items for best results.

What should I do if the cooler stops working?

Check the power connection: ensure the plug is fully inserted into the unit and the power source (cigarette lighter or wall outlet) is active. Also check that the fan vents are not blocked. If problems persist, contact Chefman customer service at 888-315-6553.

Can I leave the cooler plugged into the car when the engine is off?

It is recommended to unplug the cooler when the car is turned off to avoid draining the car battery. The warmer function also draws power.

How long does it take to cool items?

It typically takes 30-60 minutes to noticeably cool contents, depending on ambient temperature and starting temperature of items. For best performance, pre-chill items in a refrigerator.

Is the cooler safe for use with hot food?

Yes, the warmer mode can keep hot food warm. However, use caution when handling hot items to avoid burns. Ensure food is already hot before placing inside for best results.

What does the warranty cover?

Chefman provides a 1-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover misuse, normal wear, or damage from accidents. Proof of purchase is required for warranty service.
