ABOUT THE MOMCUBE™ FREEZER

MOMCUBE™ refrigeration products are specially designed for the storage of breast milk in a variety
of facilities, from daycare centers and office environments to maternity wards and newborn units.

Freezers in the MOMCUBE™ line are designed for the long term storage of frozen milk under the
temperature recommendations suggested by the CDC for healthy, full-term babies. Breast milk
stored in a freezer should be kept at 0ºF (-18ºC) or colder, and should be used within 6 months of
pumping. Breast milk should not be stored for longer than 12 months in a freezer.

In addition to this MOMCUBE™ freezer, Accucold also offers an extensive selection of all­refrigerators designed to maintain the CDC recommended temperature conditions for freshly
expressed breast milk. These units maintain an interior temperature between 33º and 40ºF, which is
a colder, tighter range than traditional household or dorm style refrigerators.

If you or your facility needs additional storage solutions, we encourage you to visit us online:

EQUIPMENT SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your unit. Always read
and obey all safety messages.

This is the Safety Alert Symbol. The symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can
kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will follow the Safety Alert Symbol
and either the words "DANGER" or "WARNING".

DANGER means that failure to heed this
safety statement may result in severe
personal injury or death.

WARNING means that failure to heed this
safety statement may result in extensive
product damage, serious personal injury, or
death.

All safety messages will alert you about the potential hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of
injury, and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Before the equipment is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as
described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock or injury when using this equipment, follow basic precautions,
including the following:

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and
do not use an extension cord.

• Replace all panels before operating.

• It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your unit be provided. Use receptacles

that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

• Never clean the equipment parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other pieces of equipment. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the
unit is disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

• Unplug the unit or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in

electrical shock or death.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your unit unless it is specifically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• This unit is CFC- and HFC-free and contains a small quantity of Isobutane (R600a), which is

• In the event of any damage:

o Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
o Disconnect from the electrical power line,
o Air the room in which the unit isolated for several minutes, and
o Contact the Service Department for advice.

• The more coolant there is in a unit, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a
leakage, if the unit is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For
every ounce of coolant, at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant
in the unit is stated on the data plate inside the unit. It is hazardous for anyone other than an
Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this piece of equipment.

• Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the unit to avoid either damaging the
refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

• Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel
so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

FOLLOW WARNING CALLOUTS BELOW
ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR
MODEL

• Use two or more people to move and install unit. Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your unit, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.
Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). [For
optimal performance, install the unit where the ambient temperature is between 72º and 78ºF
(23º-26ºC).] This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind,
rain, water spray or drips.

• The unit should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.

• The unit must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with

state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.

• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the unit.

• The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 15 amperes.

• It is important that the equipment be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make

necessarily small. Be careful closing the door when children are in the area.

Risk of child entrapment!

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are
still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”

Before discarding your old refrigerator:

o Take off the doors
o Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside
