Magic Series Cooker Hob C861G

Dimensions and installation

The figures off the C861G drawing, in full. Whether it fits is the question that ends a shortlist, so it is answered here rather than four megabytes into a PDF.

Detail

The burner flips up

A 90 degree vertical reversible burner head, patent ZL201921462957.2. It is the whole idea of the Magic Stove: the burner stands up out of the way instead of sitting in a well you have to clean around.

Which means it wipes flat

With the burners folded up the top is a flat sheet of glass: one pass with a cloth, no reaching into a burner ring, and no baked-on ring around each one.

And it gives back the drawer

Folded down the hob sits shallow, so the drawer beneath it is a drawer rather than a cupboard built around a gas box.

Oxygen from three sides

Multiple suspension O2 injection: air is fed to the flame from around the burner rather than only underneath it, which is what keeps combustion clean in a hob that folds.

4.8 kW, in seven gears

65% thermal efficiency, first-class energy band, and seven steps of flame rather than a smooth sweep: stir-fry, deep fry, boil, steam, stew, grill and keep warm, each a position you can find by feel.

It reads the pot

A sensor watches what is in the pan: cold contents get the highest setting, and as they come up to temperature the flame comes down. The three panels are that sequence.

Left and right, managed separately

Assisted cooking on both zones, each holding its own set temperature against the actual one, with overflow and burn-dry detection watching the pot.

Three protections on the left burner

A temperature probe in the left burner watches for the three ways a hob starts a fire: an empty pot, a dry burn and oil past its point. Each cuts the flame and says why.

A full touch interface

The controls are printed under the glass rather than standing proud of it, so there are no knobs to work around: 360 degrees of flat surface, and nowhere for grease to collect.

Questions about the C861G

What does the flip-up burner actually do?

The burner head turns 90 degrees and stands vertical when the hob is off. Two things follow: the glass top wipes flat with no burner ring to clean around, and the shallow body leaves the drawer under the counter usable. It is patented, ZL201921462957.2.

What cut-out does the C861G need?

VATTI publishes no drawing or specification panel for this model, so we have not put a figure on the page. Because of the folding mechanism the body is unusually shallow; have your dealer measure both the opening and the cabinet depth before ordering.

Is 4.8 kW enough for wok cooking?

For everyday stir-frying, yes, at 65% thermal efficiency, which is a first-class energy band. For daily high-heat wok work the C836G gives 5.5 kW through a triple ring.

What does the sensor do?

It reads the contents of the pot. Cold food gets full flame; as the pot comes to temperature the flame steps down. Both zones hold their own set temperature, with overflow and burn-dry detection on top, and the left burner adds an oil-temperature probe.

What warranty does the C861G carry?

Two years on the hob and a lifetime warranty on the glass top, for the original buyer from an authorised dealer. Register it at VATTI eWarranty at the time of purchase.
