IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always unplug the air purifier when it is not in operation, while
the filters or ultraviolet light are being changed, and when
cleaning.
After servicing this equipment both the front and top grill
assemblies must be reinstalled in exactly the same manner as
prior to removal. If either grill is not reinstalled properly the air
purifier will not turn on. This is a built in safety feature.
Before using the air purifier extend the power cord and inspect
for any signs of damage. Do not use the product if the power
cord has been damaged.
Warning – This appliance is designed to be used on a flat level
surface, and may not work properly on an uneven surface. To
reduce the risk of electric shock and injury, do not place in a
window. Always place the air purifier at least 12 inches (30.48
centimeters) away from heat sources such as stoves, radiators,
or heaters.
Do not move the air purifier while it is in operation. Always
unplug prior to moving
.
Do not immerse the air purifier in water, as permanent damage
will occur. Refer to the "Performing Maintenance" section in this
user's guide.

Thank you for purchasing an AirHawk AH 265 Air Purifier.

FEATURES
• Aquiet,energy efficient backward-curved impeller that moves up to 265
cubic feetof air per minute.
• An advanced electronic control system that monitors air quality,room
occupancy,air flow and volume, filter and ultraviolet lamp replacement
times.
• Afive-stage filtration system with gas-absorption media that absorbs
toxic gas, organic hydrocarbons, exhaust fumes, formaldehyde,
cleaning chemicals, low level ozone, unpleasant odors, and pain
solvents.
• Ahospital-grade three-stage HEPAfilter removes allergens such as
pollen, mold from tobacco smoke, insecticide dust, dust mites,
and particles down to 0.3 microns (0.00003 inch).
• Aphoto-oxidation chamber reduces the spread of airborne disease in
the indoor environment. Ultraviolet light 10,000 times the intensity of
that in bright sunlight, kills virus and bacteria on contact.
• Oxygen in the air,activated by the ultraviolet light, oxidizes airborne
impurities too small to be filtered out. Small amounts of residual
activated oxygen and negative ions keep the air clean and fresh in
exactly the same way sunlight and oxygen clean the air we breath in
the outdoor environment.

Installing the Purifier
CAUTION
This product is for indoor use only.
Place the Purifier in a location that will not restrict air flow through either
the air inlet or the air outlet, then plug in the electrical cord at the
nearest electrical wall outlet.
USING THE AirHAWK AH 265
1.Press-in Power ON/OFF button to turn on the Purifier. Lights on the
control panel (figure 1) will turn on and the ultraviolet lamp will be On.
2.Look into the air outlet at the top of the AirHAWK Purifier and confirm
that the ultraviolet light is operating. You will see a faint blue glow when
the light is on. If the lamp appears to be Off, refer to Maintaining the
AirHAWK AH 265.
When the lamp is On, the product is ready for operation.

Set Purifier for Room Size
1.Measure the room the Purifier is to serve, multiplying length by width to
obtain a measurement in square feet (or square meters).
2.On the table, find the room size and identify the respiratory condition the
unit is to serve.
3.Use the “Heavy Duty” chart if you suffer serious allergic reactions from
particulate matter (pollen, dust, dust mites, animal dander, etc.) or
airborne chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, cleaning solutions, etc.). Use
the “Light Duty” chart if the area youlive in is unhealthy from time to time,
or you suffer mild allergies occasionally.

Select Operating Mode
SUPER MODE – This mode may be selected during periods of high air
pollution. For example: high winds which increase airborne dust and
pollen, heavy room loading, and/or heavy smoking. Super Mode
operation will increase blower speed approximately 25 percent above
auto mode setting.
ECONOMY MODE - This mode saves energy cost during hours when
the room is unoccupied. When people are moving in the room,
operation is the same as that in the Auto Mode. When no motion has
been detected in the room for 30 seconds, blower speed is reduced by
35 percent to save electricity costs. The blower returns to normal speed
when motion is again detected in the room.
SLEEP MODE - This mode lowers the sound level by reducing blower
speed by 30 percent, while still purifying room air at 70 percent of
normal while the occupant sleeps.
Select the desired operating mode. Read the mode
descriptions below to determine your selection.
To make your selection, press MODE button (figure 3)
repeatedly, if necessary, until the appropriate mode
light is On.
AUTO MODE – This is the mode most commonly used.
In this mode the electronic sensor combines the real
time chemical sensor with blower speed if chemical
sensor detects an unhealthful amount of chemicals
present in the air (indicated by the red light on the
quality scale) the electronic controls will automatically
speed the blower up to the next setting.

Air Volume is shown by one of seven lights rep-
resenting a range from greater than normal air
flow, to reduced air flow (energy-saving Sleep
Economy Mode). The light shows that air volume
is just right for the selected room size.
You should also keep an eye on the Service Panel
which tells you if maintenance will soon be re-
quired, or if maintenance is required for further
operations. The service panel is described in
Maintaining the AirHAWK AH 265.
Monitoring Operation
You can always monitor the quality of room air and make sure that the Pu-
rifier is set to a volume of air appropriate for present conditions. Note that
measurements are relative to the selected room size. Make sure that the
Room Size panel is always set for the room in which the unit operates.
Quality and Volume are shown on the Information Display. (figure 4)
Air Quality is sensed by the chemical-detection sensor (see figure 1) which
continually evaluates air quality. Air quality is expressed by one of the five
lights expressing a range from Good to Poor.

MAINTAINING THE AirHAWK AH 265
Indicator lights on the Service Panel (figure 5) tell you if either the ultravio-
let lamp or the air filters will soon need to be replaced, or if they must be
replaced before using the Purifier again.
UV Lamp Indicator Lights
The ultraviolet lamp has a useful life of one year (9,000 hours) with a
one-month grace period.
• Green light is On - The filters have been in service
for less than 12 months.
• Yellow SERVICE SOON light is On -
The lamp has been in service for more than
12 months. It's time for a new lamp.
• Red SERVICE NOW light is On -
The lamp has been in service for more than
13 months. The lamp may not be effective
and must be replaced.
Filter Indicator Lights
The filters have a useful life of two years in a typical environment.
The three Filter lights on the Service Panel mean:
• Green light is On - The filters have been in service for less than 24
months.
• Yellow SERVICE SOON light is On - The filters have been in service for
more than 23 months. It's time to reorder new filter package.
• Red SERVICE NOW light is On - The filters have been in service for
more than 24 months. The filters may not be effective and must be re-
placed.

return to green and time will again count from zero.
This completes the lamp replacement procedures.
Performing Maintenance

Product Software Modification Change
MagneGrip Group is dedicated to total air purification, through product qual-
ity, regardless of cost.
The filter service indicator light on your AirHAWK 265 air purifier service
panel has been modified to turn yellow in (5) months and red in (6)
months. This modification differs from the owner’s instruction manual, which
states; the filter service light will turn yellow in (23) months and red in (24)
months.
After years of examining filters that have been in use from several months to
over a year, it is apparent, that it is not possible to predict the service life of a
filter, because individual location applications vary so much.
Now, when the filter service light turns red, the front grill should be re-
moved so the top pre-filter only can be vacuumed to remove the collected
dirt and debris. You do not need to remove filters from the product.
Replace the front grill and reset the filter service light only by placing the
end of a paper clip or toothpick into the reset hole and gently press in the
switch, to turn the indicator light to green.
We recommend that both the UV lamp and filter be replaced at the end or
(12) months, when both service indicator lights turn red. This process assures
maximum air flow and air quality.
Thank you for your purchase and buying a great American made product.

Can the filters be cleaned? Yes, but only the 5-micro pre-filter. AirHAWK
recommends simply vacuuming off the excess material collected on the
front of the green pre-filter approximately every six months. The second
stage HEPA filter cannot be cleaned and both filters must be replaced
when the control panel indicates replacement or 1 year.
My control panel indicates the ultraviolet lamp must be replaced, but
I can see it operating. Is it absolutely necessary to replace the lamp?
Yes, even though the ultraviolet lamp is operating it has diminished ultra-
violet output. To keep the system killing germs and bacterial effectively,
the ultraviolet lamp must be replaced once a year or the equivalent
elapsed time of one year.
I notice a slight odor when I am close to my new air purifier. You will
notice a slight odor exiting from the air purifier when it is very new or you
have recently replaced the filter package. This odor will only be present for
a couple of days, and comes from accumulated moisture in the gas ab-
sorbing carbon, potassium permanganate, and zeolite layers of the filter
pack.
I have removed either the top or front grill to examine my new air pu-
rifier, and now the unit will not turn on. What is wrong the unit? Both
the top and front grill have safety interlocks that will turn the unit off if re-
moved while in operation. If either grill is not properly reinstalled the unit
will not operate. Make sure the top grill is completely snapped into place
and the front grill is completely secured at the bottom.
Enjoy your AirHAWK AH 265 Air Purifier in good health.
