The invention is directed to a heatable appliance, in particular a curling iron (10), including a device (18) for flameless combustion of a fuel/air mixture and an associated activation device (20, 21) for initiating the flameless combustion action, wherein the device (18) comprises a carrier means coated with a catalytically active material. According to the present invention, the carrier means is configured as a stable carrier structure (28) comprised in particular of a metal foil provided with perforations (32) or a wire lattice. At least one metal wire (36) preferably catalytically coated is arranged on the carrier structure (28) to serve as a starter catalyst (34). By this means, the activating ability of the catalytically coated carrier structure (28) is promoted.

Heatable appliance for personal use

The invention is directed to a coated smoothing iron soleplate which is preferably composed of an aluminum alloy, its anticorrosive coating which is preferably a nickel hard alloy having an extremely scratch-resistant surface capable of sliding well and easy to clean. The coating is preferably applied by a high-speed flame spraying method, followed preferably by a grinding and polishing operation using a drag grinding method.
