Ravelli Francesca Bowl over Heat Exchanger?

[Tdchev3]

Hi all,

Hoping someone has some an answer to a basic question I have. I have a Ravelli Francesca, had it for a few years. On top of the heat exchanger, beneath the Majolica top there is a stainless steel ‘pot’ of sorts. I can’t for the life of me understand what it is for? It looks like it could be for increasing humidity (fill it with water and let it evaporate off). But nowhere in the manual can I find information on what it’s actually for.

Hoping someone here has some insight. See the attached pic for the stainless steel pot on the left of the image.

I have a Francesca that’s a bit older but no such pan. That’s a weird setup. Looks like a water pan but I would think one of the last things you’d want to do is pour water over the top of an electric appliance. In my short time owning a Ravelli stove I’ve noticed they seem to change features within models frequently. At least on the Francescas I have looked at. Also difficult to find good service manuals and absolutely no skilled service available, at least in our area. Fortunately I am a retired electrical tech and have the expertise of good folks on this site.

Maybe? Just this little blurb on Francesca home page. Can't find anything else written about it. Earth sense site has a small section on it too with no explanation of how to use it.
