There is no narrative of Vader shutting down the droids. We are aware that it happened because Vader tells Luke: "As for your 'droids, they are conditioned to obey orders. I had them turn themselves off."

That's the method I was referencing. That's why I didn't quote a specific passage. I was just pointing out that he commanded them to shut down - as opposed to something more involved.
