The actual owners manual says 1-2 minutes.

Funny how a simple question can unravel some folks. Please don't ask what oil you should use. That may cause the Earth to spin out of orbit and plummet into the Sun.

I forgot what the question was, had to go back and look. You're right, appears to be simple enough.
