Just picked up a Morso 3440 on FB

I think I just scored on this stove. The guy seemed to just want it out of his house. Looks like these were made from 2003-2018. Any idea how I can figure out when it was manufactured? Anything I should know about this stove? It’s seems like it wasn't used much and I may get away with just doing gaskets on the door. Going to end up in a future man cave project I think.

The "Declaration of Performance" has a date of 2013...

Nice find. IIRC, they showed up in the states around 2009. At least, that is what the US manual is dated for this stove. The serial number is low so I would expect it to be an early model.

Do you have a copy of the manual? Looking online the in the manual I found the clearance to combustibles is greater then what is printed on the back of the stove, I do not know which one to follow.

Ok yea, that is the manual I found. So should I follow those clearances and not the ones on the back of the stove? The manual is saying 8in clearance behind the stove and 12 inches on the side. The decal on the back of the stove is saying 8 inches behind and 8” on the side. Also does this stove just require ember protection under the stove?

I would err to the conservative side. This is a highly radiant stove.
The manual's guidance for the hearth protection is poor. It says that the max temp tested was 65ºC. That's about 150º. Ember protection is probably ok, that's what the 3142 requires, but it wouldn't hurt to do better. It wouldn't hurt to err on the side of caution.
