Remote heater thingy!!

Stoopid newbie question.....

I've had my ff 2 weeks today and just had our first frost,so I'm able to use this ...can't find any info on it probably because I don't know what it's called Whistle ,anyway I pressed the "on" button and went outside 10 minutes later to see my defrosted motor Whistle ...also felt quite smug as the neighbours are out there scraping away Laughing ,how long does it run for ? Or do you have to turn it "off" via the fob...
Oh and by the way I have tried to RTFM Rolling with laughter

Mine is 30 mins according to the manual.. Never needed to run it that long. Smile Presumably your more up to date vehicle is the same. Thumbs Up John

Mine only runs for about 15 mins, there was a lot of discussion on here about times.
