Description
Summit Breast Milk Refrigerator Description:
Accucold’s MOMCUBE™ upright all-refrigerators are designed and purpose-built for breast milk storage, with a powder-coated silver ion handle that helps prevent germ spread. 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 ARS6MLMC MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator is a 6 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 ARS6MLMC MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator boasts four 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 works within most ADA compliant applications.
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.

Shipping FAQ
What are the exterior dimensions and shipping weight?
Approximate external size: ~83 cm H × ~59 cm W × ~62 cm D; shipping weight around ~54 kg (≈ 120 lb).
What electrical and installation requirements apply?
Operates on 115 V AC / 60 Hz with a typical draw of about 1.4 amps.
Requires a dedicated grounded outlet, level installation surface, and sufficient clearance for door-swing (roughly 118 cm when door open) and front-ventilation, especially when built-in or freestanding.
What steps should be taken during unpacking and placement?
Inspect the unit on delivery for any visible transit damage; if transported on its side allow the unit to stand upright for several hours before powering.
Ensure the cabinet is level, verify door-swing and ventilation clearance, and test the controller, alarms and probe access port before loading any milk-containers.
What delivery or shipping method is typical for this model?
Due to its clinical-grade specification and sensitive contents use, this model often ships via palletized freight.
Ensure receiving access is clear, staging area is level and installation site is prepared in advance.

Yes — the ARS6MLMC is explicitly designed for human-milk storage, supports the required +0.6 °C to +4.4 °C range, and includes the secure-access, monitoring and alarm features suitable for maternity, NICU or staff-wellness deployment.
What daily best-practice steps should be followed for operation?
Use a calibrated data logger placed at mid-shelf height; label each container or user; rotate stored contents regularly; avoid over-packing which may restrict airflow; minimize door-open time; and record daily minimum and maximum internal temperature values and any alarm events as part of your facility log.
What routine maintenance is recommended?
Clean condenser and ventilation paths at least twice per year; verify alarm, probe and thermostat operation monthly; inspect the door-gasket seal and handle/lock assembly annually; ensure the unit remains level and ventilation paths are unobstructed for optimal performance.
What should be done in the event of a temperature excursion or alarm?
Document the date/time, temperature deviation and any affected contents; relocate impacted milk containers to approved backup storage if required; identify and correct the root cause (for example door left open, obstructed airflow, or power interruption); restore proper conditions and log corrective actions per your facility’s standard operating procedure.
