ALWAYS PLUG KLEARBAR MINI ELECTRICAL CORD INTO A GFCI PROTECTED POWER OUTLET
There are multiple ways to connect your Klearbar Mini but regardless of your choice it
is recommended to follow local plumbing codes or consider hiring a licensed plumber.
But should you decide to DIY (do it yourself) we have provided a basic blueprint to get
you on your way.
Perhaps the easiest connection is to an existing water line already provided by your
refrigerator ice maker. Use a 1/4 union tee for this connection.

Installation & Maintenance
Your Klearbar Mini comes standard with virtually everything you need for a simple
water line connection:
• Installation/User manual
• 15 feet of food grade, 1/4 polyethylene tubing
• 45 psi pressure reducer (pre-installed inside water dispenser)
• Angle stop valve (mains connector)
• 1/4 union tee (install if using existing ice maker water line connection)
• 1/4 stem elbow (install at water line inlet)
You may also need the following items to assist your installation:
• Adjustable wrench to install angle stop valve
• Teon plumbers tape (use when installing angle stop valve)
• Plastic tubing cutter or scissors
• 3/8 inch drill bit and drill (if needed to drill hole in cabinetry to hide water line)
Connect 1/4 tubing into 1/4 stem elbow.

Connect To Existing Refrigerator Ice Maker Water Line
- use the included 1/4 union tee when connectingto a 1/4
water mains connection or, use a brass compression
union tee if desired (always use a plastic compression
ferrule when connecting polyethylene tubing using a brass
union - a brass compression ferrule may cut into the plastic
tubing and cause a leak).
1. BEFORE PLUGGING IN TO ELECTRICITY turn o water line supply to refrigerator
ice maker.
2. Using a plastic tube or copper line cutter, make a square cut of the existing ice maker
water line no closer than 12 inches from where the water line originates from the oor
or wall, and insert the 1/4 union tee here. It may be good to have a large towel nearby as
a small amount of residual water may spray and drain out once the line is cut . Connect
one end of the included 1/4 polyethylene tubing to the 1/4 union tee.
3. Place the Klearbar Mini within a few feet of an available GFCI electrical socket and
connect the included 1/4 stem elbow into the water inlet port on the back of the unit
(be careful not to connect to the optional overow port). Now connect the opposite
end 1/4 polyethylene water line into the 1/4 elbow behind the Klearbar Mini. Trim o
extra water line as needed for a professional look.

4. Install an optional 1/4 turn ball valve (not included; available at most hardware stores)
about 12 inches from the 1/4 stem elbow enabling easy water on/o access without
having to pull the refrigerator away from the wall. This is very convenient should you
ever need to remove the Klearbar Mini for cleaning or should you discover a leak.
5. BEFORE TURNING ON WATER LIFT RESERVOIR COVER THEN REMOVE
MOISTURE ABSORBING DESICCANT BAG INSIDE RESRVOIR. ALSO REMOVE
PROTECTIVE FOAM INSERTS ( 3 ) FROM THE ELECTRONIC FLOAT SWITCH
(KLEARBAR MINI 2 ONLY) INSIDE THE RESERVOIR.
6. BEFORE TURNING ON WATER PLACE HOT WATER SWITCH TO OFF POSITION
and then plug the Klearbar Mini into a GFCI receptacle. Open the water connection
and allow to reservoir to ll up. When the reservoir is full prime the water pump by
dispensing 10 ounces of water from both the cold and hot water tanks. Only after
priming is it now safe to turn on the cold and hot water switches on the rear of the
equipment.
Connect To Main beneath a Sink
1. Turn o COLD water supply beneath sink.
2. Use a wrench and disconnect the copper or braided riser tube connected to the
stop valve already threaded or soldered to the copper water main.
3. Thread the Klearbar angle stop valve (mains connector) OR OPTIONAL TEE
ADAPTOR (purchased separately) by rst wrapping Teon tape (not included) around
the newly exposed thread of the stop valve plumbed to the cold water main. Hand-
tighten then snugly tighten using a wrench.
Then apply Teon tape to downstream thread and reconnect the riser tube.

4. Use the included 1/4 polyethylene tubing and connect to the Klearbar angle stop
valve (or optional tee adaptor). First slide nut then compression ring onto tubing, and
then insert tubing insert into end of plastic tube. Now attach plastic tubing to Teon
taped thread.
5. Next drill a 3/8 hole through sink or countertop near the nal resting place of
the Klearbar Mini. Be extremely careful if drilling through a porcelain/cast iron sink
or granite countertop as damage may result. Consult a professional if unsure with
this procedure. Also consider drilling hole(s) behind cabinet drawers leading to side
opening of cabinet versus top opening of countertop.
6. Place the Klearbar Mini within a few feet of an available GFCI electrical socket and
connect the included 1/4 stem elbow into the water inlet port on the back of the unit
(be careful not to connect to the optional overow port). Now pull the 1/4 water line
through the drilled hole(s) and connect into the 1/4 stem elbow at rear of Klearbar Mini.
7. Install an optional 1/4 turn ball valve (not included; available at most hardware stores)
about 12 inches from the 1/4 stem elbow enabling easy on/o access. This is very
convenient should you ever need to remove the Klearbar Mini for cleaning or should
you discover a leak.
8. Turn on mains valve and check for leaks.
9. MAKE SURE THE HOT WATER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE
PLUGGING IN to a GFCI receptacle. Allow to completely ll. Once full the Klearbar
Mini will automatically stop lling with water.
10. Dispense at least 10 ounces of water from both the hot and cold tanks. It is now safe
to turn on the hot and cold water tanks.
WARNING: TURNING ON THE HOT WATER TANK BEFORE COMPLETELY FULL MAY
RESULT IN TRIPPING THE HOT TANK OVERLOAD PROTECTOR SWITCH (WATER
WILL NOT HEAT). IF THIS HAPPENS TURN OFF WATER CONNECTION, UNPLUG
UNIT AND CONTACT YOUR SERVICING DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE.
