Summit Countertop MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator Description:
Accucold’s MOMCUBE™ upright all-refrigerators are designed and purpose-built for breast milk storage. All MOMCUBE™ units are laboratory-tested to maintain temperature between 33-40°F, as recommended by the CDC and ideal for maternity wards, hospitals, NICUs, employee wellness rooms complying with Section 4207 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and other facilities.
The Summit ARS1MLMC Countertop MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator is a 1 cu.ft. all-refrigerator. The microprocessor digital thermostat is located in the top control panel, with an LED display of the interior temperature. The buffered temperature probe is encased in glycol to simulate the temperature of the interior’s contents, while a second sensor measures interior air temperature for added control. Audible and visual alarms alert you to temperature fluctuations. Additional alarms include an open door alarm, power failure alarm, sensor alarm, and remote alarm contacts in the rear, which allow for alarm forwarding to an external remote alarm system. The pre-installed ½ inch probe hole is located in the right interior wall to allow for additional user-supplied monitoring devices. The digital display provides the min/max temperature in Fahrenheit to the nearest tenth of a degree. Users can switch to Celsius in a few simple steps. Temperature parameters are password protected but can be adjusted aftermarket. This unit comes with a hospital grade cord with a green dot plug for added safety in high traffic areas.
Inside, the Summit ARS1MLMC Countertop MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator boasts two adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves for optimal storage flexibility. The forced air cooling system with two internal fans helps to provide temperature uniformity, stability, and quick recovery from door openings. An adjustable cycle defrost system helps to avoid temperature spikes and ice build-up. A soft LED light is included with this unit with an option to turn on/off with a rocker switch. The interior is constructed from white powder coated metal providing added durability and improved temperature retention.
The MOMCUBE™ comes in a white cabinet with blue display panel. The factory-installed antimicrobial handle is powder-coated with naturally occurring silver ions, which help to reduce the spread of germs, allowing for a safer, cleaner user experience. The user-friendly reversible door comes standard in a right-hand swing with a self-closing function (note: this function is disabled if reversed to LHD). Magnetic gaskets ensure a sight seal for improved performance. The factory-installed lock offers additional security. This unit is designed for freestanding use and is the perfect size for countertop use.
The MOMCUBE is an eco-friendly solution to breast milk storage. Units of various capacity, heights, and interiors are available. Explore the entire MOMCUBE™ Series on our website or contact our sales team at 718-893-3900 ext. 509 for more options.

What temperature range and control features does it support?
It is designed to maintain an interior temperature range of approximately +0.6 °C to +4.4 °C (≈ 33 °F to 40 °F), in accordance with clinical breast-milk storage guidelines.
The control system includes a digital microprocessor thermostat with external LED display, a buffered probe for product-temperature simulation and an auxiliary air sensor for improved accuracy.
What alarms, monitoring and security features are included?
Includes audible and visual high/low temperature alarms, door-ajar alert, power failure alarm and sensor fault alarm.
Also features a factory-installed keyed lock for contents security, a ½″ probe port for external data logger connection, and optional remote alarm contact outputs for facility integration.

Features include a self-closing reversible door, antimicrobial silver-ion coated handle, adjustable wire shelving, LED interior lighting, front-breathing ventilation for countertop use, and a sealed-back white powder-coated steel cabinet built for rigorous healthcare environments.
Shipping FAQ
What are the exterior dimensions and shipping weight?
Approximately 55 cm H × 44 cm W × 50 cm D; shipping weight around 27 kg (≈ 60 lb).
What electrical and installation requirements apply?
Operates on 115 V AC / 60 Hz with a draw of about 1.4 amps.
Requires a dedicated grounded outlet, level installation surface, and adequate clearance for door-swing and ventilation (in a countertop setting especially).
What steps should be taken during unpacking and placement?
Inspect the unit on delivery for any visible transit damage; if shipped on its side allow upright settling for several hours before powering; ensure the unit sits level on the countertop; maintain ventilation clearance around the front/bottom; test the controller and alarms before loading contents.
What delivery or shipping method is typical for this model?
Due to its healthcare-grade specification, this unit may ship via palletized freight or secure parcel depending on destination.
Ensure the receiving area is prepared, the countertop space is level and that the path for placement is clear ahead of delivery.
Application FAQ
Is this unit suitable for breast-milk storage in a clinical setting?
Yes — the ARS1MLMC is explicitly built for breast-milk storage, supports the required +0.6 °C to +4.4 °C range, and includes monitoring, alarm and locking features suited for maternity, NICU or wellness-room applications.
What daily best-practice steps should be followed for operation?
Use a calibrated data logger placed at mid-shelf height; label stored containers, rotate inventory regularly; avoid over-packing which may restrict airflow; minimize door-open time; and record daily minimum and maximum internal temperature values as part of the facility log.
What routine maintenance is recommended?
Clean the condenser and ventilation paths at least twice per year; verify alarm, probe and thermostat function monthly (or per facility schedule); inspect the door-gasket and lock mechanism annually; ensure the unit remains level and ventilation remains unobstructed.
What should be done in the event of a temperature excursion or alarm?
Document the date/time of the event, temperature deviation and any affected contents; if required relocate items to approved backup storage; identify and correct the root-cause (door left open, blocked airflow, power interruption); restore correct conditions and log corrective actions according to your facility’s SOP.
