Control Modes
The Girae Warmer has two control modes, Manual Mode and Baby Mode. In Manual Mode, the
warmer controls radiant heater output from a heater power percentage setting that you enter using
the control panel. In Baby Mode, the warmer controls radiant heater output based on temperature
readings from a probe attached to the baby’s skin and a set temperature you enter using the control panel.

Manual Mode - Set heater power.
After completing warm up and pushing the
“Admit Baby” key, the warmer starts in the
Manual Mode with a default 50% heater
power setting.
The percentage of full power can be adjusted
in 5% increments using the increase/de-
crease keys on the left of the display.
You can monitor the baby’s temperature
with a skin probe in the Manual Mode, shown
in the upper left corner of the display, but it
does not control heater output. If you intend
to use Manual Mode for a prolonged period
time a skin probe should be attached to the
baby.
WARNING:
Do not leave baby unattended while the warmer is in Manual Mode. Whenever possible,
use the warmer in the servo-control mode (Baby Mode). The Manual Mode requires
constant monitoring of the baby’s condition by the caregiver.

Baby Mode - Adjust set temperature.
In the Baby Mode the warmer controls
heater output to a desired baby set
temperature (set temp) you enter. Heater
output is based on measured dierences
between the set temperature and the skin
probe temperature reading. You can enter
desired set temperatures from 34 to 37.5 °C
using the increase/decrease keys on the left
of the display, and this value is shown above
the power indicator bar graph in white
numerals slightly smaller than the baby’s
actual temperature. Baby temperature is
shown in green in the upper left corner of
the display.
