Clockwise or Counterclockwise. For year-round comfort and maximum energy savings, Westinghouse ceiling fans include a reversible switch that allows the ceiling fans to be used during cool or warm weather.

During the summer, you want the air blowing directly on you so you will feel cooler from the wind chill effect (which is how fans cool you off). So stand under the fan and turn it up on high speed. If you Do Not feel the air very well, then turn the fan off and flick the reverse toggle switch. Turn it back on high speed. If you feel more air, you have it in the right position. So whichever position you feel the most air movement when standing directly under the fan is the correct position for summer.
