You can discharge the caps like that but it is hard on them and may create sparks/arcing. Better to use a lower value power resistor, I usually use something like a 100ohm 5 watt.
Also, switching the standby switch to the "run" position will help discharge the caps and keep them discharged. Usually after I disconnect the AC cord, I switch the standby to the run postition, then check with a meter for DC on the main filter caps. If there is still DC there, I discharge through the 100ohm 5watt resistor.
