Heatable appliance for personal use

A heatable appliance for personal use, such as a hair-care appliance, including a device for flameless combustion of a fuel/air mixture and an associated activation device for initiating the flameless combustion action, said device comprising stable carrier structure having deposited thereon a catalytically active coating for augmenting the flameless combustion action, and a starter catalyst separately attached to said stable carrier structure, said starter catalyst made of at least one metal wire of less than 0.3 millimeter thickness, and wherein said starter catalyst is in the form of wire mesh lid structure, said lid structure being directly connected to said carrier structure, wherein said lid structure includes a bottom member and an annular wall and has a diameter corresponding approximately to the inside diameter of said carrier structure.
