ABOUT THE MOMCUBE

MOMCUBE™ refrigerators are specially designed to comply with the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC)'s recommendations for breast milk storage. These units maintain an interior
temperature between 33º and 40ºF, which is a colder, tighter range than traditional household or
dorm style refrigerators.

We recommend only using MOMCUBE™ refrigerators for the storage of breast milk. Units with suffix
"MCLK" include individual locking compartments to allow new mothers more
privacy. MOMCUBE™ refrigerators can be used in a variety of settings, including hospital maternity
wards, NICU units, wellness rooms, and offices, especially those working to comply with Section
4207 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which requires work spaces to have a private
designated space for nursing mothers.

In addition to the MOMCUBE™ refrigerators, Accucold offers a line of freezers for longer term breast
milk storage. We also manufacture and distribute general purpose refrigeration and cooking
equipment through our Summit brand, including microwaves, blanket/towel warmers,
icemakers/dispensers, ADA compliant appliances, and a large selection of purpose-built
refrigerators. If you or your facility need 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
environmentally friendly but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase
the greenhouse effect. care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the unit that no

parts of the cooling system are damaged. leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.

• 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

several adjustments to level it.

• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

• Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.

• Check for leaks after connection.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the unit.

• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may

damage or discolor the interior.

• Use this equipment only for its intended purpose as described in this Instruction Manual.

• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas. Clearances between the door and cabinet are

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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before using your equipment

Remove the exterior and interior packing.
CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this unit to stand upright for at least 2 hours to allow

the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure to do so may
adversely affect performance and the lifetime of this unit.

Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water, using a soft cloth.

Installation of your equipment

• The unit is designed for free-standing installation and for indoor use only.

• Do NOT store or install the unit outdoors.

CAUTION: This equipment is designed for the storage of medicine or other medical products. Do not
store beverages or perishable food in this unit.

• Place the refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level
the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.

• Allow at least 5 inches (127mm) of space between the back, top, and sides of the unit. This
allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser for energy saving. The air
vent at the front of the unit must never be covered or blocked in any way.

• NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the unit near an oven, radiator or other heating
source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 60°F (16°C). For
best performance, do not install the unit behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.

• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.

• Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances

cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power
and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service
center.
