Answer:

towards the base of the fire.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aim the nozzle or outlet towards the base of the fire. Squeeze the handles together to discharge the extinguishing agent inside. To stop discharge, release the handles. Sweep the nozzle from side to side as you approach the fire, directing the extinguishing agent at the base of the flames.

When extinguishing a fire, the extinguisher's stream should be aimed at the base of the flame using a sweeping motion. This will allow one to kill the fire from the source. This will quickly put out the fire faster applying the extinguisher from the upside.
