I do that, just to make sure it's working good at high output.

Once you hit the OFF button, it cranks up a glow-plug heat cycle to clean-up.
Once the high current (9 amps) stops, it runs the fan for cool down. Then it goes off.
I never shut off the power supply! I saw 12v power-fail tested on YT & it smoked. But still worked later.
