    • 2). Climb on your ladder to access the switch on the fan housing, just above the blades. For a winter setting, push the switch to the right, so the fan will run clockwise, pulling the air upward. For a summer setting, push the switch to the left, for a counterclockwise setting, which will push the air downward.

    • 3). Turn the fan back on at the wall. Pull the chain on the fan repeatedly until you're certain you have it on the fastest setting, then pull it three more times. The fan should gradually come to a stop.

    • 4). Pull the chain once, twice or three times depending on whether you want a fast, medium or slow speed. Generally, you'll want a faster setting for summer and the slowest one for winter.
