So what way should the button be up or Down?
2007-02-11 06:57:32 · update #1
Fans come with a forward and a reverse setting. When you click it to 'forward', the fan blows the air down. Standing under the fan, you will feel a breeze. When you click it to 'reverse', the fan reverses rotation and blows the air up. Now, when you stand under the fan, you won't feel a breeze.
So, during the winter, turn the fan to 'reverse' to circulate the warm air without blowing air down and cooling you in the process. Hot air rises and a ceiling fan, running in reverse, gently mixes the air.
During the summer, on the other hand, turn it to 'forward' to create a wind-chill effect as the air moves against your skin and cools you.
Hope this helps..

this changes the direction of the fan. the fan should take the warm air that naturally rises to the ceiling and blow it back down to the living space. Conversely, reversing the fan in the summer will help circulate the cool air in the house.

first element i'd propose is to work out if the fan has a pull chain change. maximum ceiling followers have them for the fan and for the lights. turn your change to the ON position. Irregardless of the way it became put in (up or down), one aspect will say ON and one will say OFF. be sure it really is ON and word if pulling the chain change will make it artwork. If the fan don't have a pull change, then it receives extra complicated because you'll prefer to get admission to the fan's wiring to work out if there is modern-day modern-day once you change the wall change. in case you have not any operating expertise of electrical energy and that's risks, this may be an exceptionally undesirable element to attempt and that i'd propose you get an electrician or accessible guy to ascertain it out for you. countless issues may be undesirable which includes the change, a breaker or abode fuse it quite is out, undesirable wiring or perchance a foul ceiling fan and the purely thanks to make sure the position the area lies is to get rid of each chance by technique of utilising a voltage meter and getting on the change and the fan wiring.

well now, my fan came with instructions that say push the button up in winter and down in summer. the warm that rises in the winter will still be moved around and you wont feel an unpleasant breeze. so blow the air down in summer and up in winter

this will allow the fan to move air either down or pull air up. usually set to blow air down in the winter and pull air up in the summer. do not change this while the fan is going only when it is still.

It is to change from the cold season to the warm season. During the cold seasons, the fan blades blow the warm air that rises down. During the warm season the fan blades blow the warm air up.

to change the rotation of the fans from clockwise to counter clockwise! In the winter you want them to push air down (heat) and in the summer you want them to pull the cool air up!

changes the direction
one way draws air in (like from windows)
the other way blows air down.
