[Elecraft] KPA 100 Bias Adjustment with Fan ON or OFF?

[Don Wilhelm]

Ray,

That statement is only made so you have some understanding of the 
current draw that you will find.
Regardless of what the current level during receive may be, you will 
adjust the bias pot for a 400 ma. increase in current during transmit 
with no RF drive.  Be certain the K2 is in TEST mode.

The paragraph states that 50 mA of the measured current increase is due to the fan running at low speed.  However, in the earlier "Fan Test" section, the fan has been set to "FAN nor" mode and so should not be running with the heat sink at a room temperature of approximately 17 deg C.  Am I missing something here?
