Torque for 19MM engine block drain plug

The SFM blows me away sometimes at NOT having torque values. Nearly every service involving coolant says to "remove the drain plug in the block" with a nice little arrow to which bolt is the drain plug. What it does not ever bother to tell you is what torque to put it back. Actually, it never tells you to put it back on any of the services where it tells you to remove it, which is somewhat neglectful in terms of instructions. Before you say it, yeah I know only a moron would not know it has to go back...but sometimes a reminder is helpful.

I've made mine snug. Don't lose the aluminum washer.

It was on there pretty dang tight, so that's why I was wondering.
