Introduction to the Groegg2
The correct room temperature is vital for creating a safe sleeping
environment for a baby. Health professionals recommend that the room
that your baby sleeps in should be maintained at 16–20°C to help reduce
the risk of cot death. The Groegg2, the colour changing digital room
thermometer, is another clever innovation to help promote safer sleep for
babies from the people who brought you the Grobag®Baby Sleep Bag.
The patented Groegg2glows yellow if the room temperature is within
recommended guidelines (16–20°C). If the room temperature is outside
this range, take action to cool or heat the room, or adjust the baby’s
bedding or clothing.
This leaflet contains information about how to use your Groegg2and
how to achieve a safer sleeping environment for your baby. Please retain
this leaflet for future reference.
Getting Started
Remove all protective packaging, insert one end of the power
lead into the circular socket of the Groegg2and the other end of
the lead into any uk plug socket. Once the Charger is switched
on the Groegg2powers on automatically (please allow a few
minutes for accurate reading each time you switch on).
Tips for placing your thermometer:
• Do not place the thermometer over or very close to a radiator,
in direct sunlight or by an open window
• Make sure that the thermometer is placed out of reach of your
baby’s cot, and that the power lead is not able to be reached
or pulled by a toddler
• Please note that the Groegg2displays the room temperature
(not the temperature of your baby).Remember to check your
baby regularly to make sure he or she is
not too hot or cold If in any doubt, please
consult your health professional
Adjust the brightness, if necessary, by
pressing the button on the bottom until ideal
level is achieved (Groegg2has four night-
light levels including off).
To switch off Groegg2please turn off your
power at the wall socket (we recommend leaving your Groegg2
on at all times).
Using your Groegg2
Your Groegg2displays the room temperature in °C, and will display one
of four colours depending on the room temperature.
Please see the chart following:
Blue Yellow Orange Red
Too cold Recommended Warm Too warm
16°C and below
(Under 61°F)
16–20°C
(61–68°F)
20–24°C
(68–75°F)
24°C and above
(Over 75°F)
If the room temperature is outside the recommended guidelines (shown by
the yellow colour) there are 3 actions that you can take:
Cool or heat the room
For example, by opening or closing a window or door or using a
thermostatically controlled heater or radiator
Adjust the bedding
Increase or reduce the amount of bedding. For example, for
Grobag Baby Sleep Bag users choose a different tog rating (0.2,
0.5, 1.0, 2.5 or 3.5 tog). For those with traditional sheets and
blankets, add or remove layers
Adjust the baby’s clothing
Reduce or increase the number of layers of clothing your baby is
wearing
Please note, always remember to check your baby regularly to make
sure he or she is not too hot or cold. To check if your baby is too hot look
for sweating or feel the baby — don’t worry if hands or feet are cold,
that’s normal. If in any doubt, please consult your health professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. It’s warm weather and my Groegg2is on red. What shall I do?
A. Take action to reduce the room temperature, bedding and clothing.
If it is not possible to bring the room temperature down then you
may need to remove all bedding and clothing from your baby,
leaving them in just a nappy/diaper. Additionally you could use a
fan to move air around the room (ensuring it is not within reach of
your baby or pointing directly at your baby) and give your baby extra
drinks. In extremely warm temperatures, sponge your baby down
with luke warm water, If in doubt contact your health professional.
Q. It’s cold weather and my Groegg2is on blue. What shall
I do?
A. Take action to increase room temperature, bedding and clothing.
We recommend using a thermostatically controlled heater in the
room where the baby is sleeping, which saves your central heating
being on a all night (make sure that neither the heater or cable are
within reach of your baby’s cot/crib). Increase the level of clothing,
but always make sure your baby’s head is uncovered. If your baby
has become cold, give them a warming cuddle or a warm drink
before returning them to their cot/crib with extra clothing/bedding.
Q. My Groegg2doesn’t read the temperature I think it should.
A. The Groegg2will indicate the temperature of the surrounding air, so
cold drafts and adjacent heating will both affect the reading.
