Cold Weather Starting

I have a 2005 Phaeton 38 and I’m trying to figure how the engine heater works. I have two plugs in the electrical bay; one is a fairly large plug (maybe a 20amp plug) that appears to get plugged in the adjacent AC box. The other is a standard plug that appears to get connected to a typical ac outlet. I can’t find anything in the manuals, can anyone explain these connections? Thanks for your help.

Trace that "standard plug" to its destination. If it terminates at the engine block, that is the one you use. When I had my Dodge 5.9 CTD the motor manual said that 4 hours was the longest it should be operated, longer just used more electricity for little gain.
