FAQs
What does the 'Circulaire function' do?
The Circulaire function uses a fan and a circular heating element to distribute heat evenly throughout the oven. This allows you to cook different types of food simultaneously on multiple levels without flavors mixing or transferring.
Is the Smeg Symphony C7GPX9 suitable for LPG?
Yes, the cooker is adaptable for LPG (bottled gas) and includes a conversion kit for this purpose. However, the conversion and installation must be performed by a qualified Gas Safe engineer.
How do I clean the oven?
The oven features a pyrolytic self-cleaning function, which uses very high temperatures to burn off food residue, leaving only ash to wipe away. For minor spills, the easy-clean enamelled interior can be simply wiped with a damp cloth.
What are the installation requirements for this cooker?
It requires professional installation by a qualified Gas Safe engineer for the gas hob connection and a qualified electrician for the electrical oven connection to a 13 Amp fused spur.
What accessories are included with the oven?
The oven comes with partially extractable telescopic shelves, an extra-deep tray, 2 chrome shelves, and a grill mesh, providing versatility for various cooking needs.
What is the energy efficiency rating of this appliance?
The Smeg Symphony C7GPX9 has an 'A' energy efficiency rating, indicating good energy performance for reduced running costs.
Can I grill with the oven door closed?
Yes, this model features 'Closed Door Grilling,' which helps to contain cooking smells and improve energy efficiency during grilling.
Troubleshooting
Gas burner won't ignite.
First, check that the gas supply tap is open. Ensure the burner cap and crown are correctly seated and clean. If the issue persists, verify that the igniter isn't blocked by food debris. If still no ignition, consult your gas safe engineer.
Oven not heating up or heating unevenly.
Ensure the cooker is properly connected to the electrical supply and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Verify the oven function and temperature settings are correct. For uneven heating, ensure the oven has preheated fully, and try using the Circulaire function for more consistent results. Avoid overcrowding the oven.
Pyrolytic cleaning cycle fails to start.
Check that the oven door is fully closed and latched (if applicable for pyrolytic lock). Ensure no accessories (like oven shelves or trays) are left inside the oven, as they can be damaged by the high temperature. If the issue continues, refer to the user manual for specific error codes or contact customer support.
Excessive condensation in the oven during cooking.
This can sometimes occur, especially with high-moisture foods. Ensure the oven door isn't opened too frequently during cooking. The 'Closed Door Grilling' feature helps manage steam. If it's persistent, ensure the kitchen has adequate ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your Smeg Symphony C7GPX9. This dual fuel cooker requires:
- Gas Connection: Installation by a qualified Gas Safe engineer is mandatory for connecting the gas hob.
- Electrical Connection: The electrical oven requires connection to a 13 Amp fused spur by a qualified installer.
- Ensure adequate ventilation in your kitchen as per local regulations.
Compatibility
- The cooker is designed for natural gas but is adaptable for LPG (bottled gas) with the included conversion kit. This provides flexibility depending on your home's gas supply.
Care
Maintaining your Smeg Symphony C7GPX9 is straightforward:
- Oven Cleaning: Utilize the pyrolytic self-cleaning function for deep cleaning the oven interior. This high-temperature cycle burns off food residues, which can then be easily wiped away as ash. For everyday spills, the easy-clean enamelled interior makes wiping simple.
- Hob Cleaning: Allow the hob to cool completely. The 18/10 Stainless Steel surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The cast iron pan supports should be removed and can be cleaned with warm soapy water.
- General Maintenance: Regularly wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to keep it looking pristine. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the stainless steel finish.
