Most fans should have arrows on the side of the fan that indicate which way air blows.

The logo should indicate which way air blows... I think.

 

Are you sure it's blowing air INTO your case?

The direction is that of the sticker/logo so if you want air to go out, place the fans with the sticker/logo facing out. This have been true for all the fans I've seen except for one.

Why would you listen to me? I'm just some random guy on the internet!

if you can see the fan label from out of your case then it is blowing air out

You want front as intakes, and top/back as outtakes :)

If you have the fans in front blowing air out, that's is wrong. It is best to have the front as intakes and the back /top as exhaust.
