170 °C to Fahrenheit
170 °C = 338 °F
Not quite 350 °F, but recipes round it there. In recipes: 350 °F. Fan oven: 150 °C. Gas mark 3. Typically used for most cakes, cookies, muffins and quick breads.
Fan (convection) ovens run hotter at the same setting, so recipes usually drop the temperature by about 20 °C (25 °F).

Exact: 170.0 °C = 338.0 °F. Recipes round to the nearest 5 or 10 degrees, and so do oven dials.
How it’s calculated
170 × 9 ÷ 5 + 32 = 338.00 °F.
If your oven is a fan or convection model, lower the setting by about 20 °C, or keep it and start checking 5–10 minutes early.
