Default Cieling Fan...Up or Down? For heat removal

Got this new ceiling fan .. need to know should it SUCK UP or BLOW
DOWN for removal of heat in a room?

Considering we're going into the hot season??

thanks

Doesn't remove heat from the room but by blowing downward during hot season,
the additional movement of air over your exposed skin will cause quicker
evaporation of your perspiration and thus cooling of the skin. In the
Winter, blowing upward will somewhat force the warmer air that accumulates
at the ceiling outward and downward to the level at which you live. You
wouldn't want the fan blowing directly down on you, then, as the additional
evaporation would chill you.
