Short answer
Remington's use and care manual for the Shine Therapy 1-inch flat iron (S9511) matches temperature to hair type: 300–340°F for thin/fine or easy-to-style hair, 360–370°F for color-treated, 390–410°F for textured, and 430–450°F for thick and difficult-to-style hair. Settings run from 300°F to 450°F, and holding the minus button for about 2 seconds locks the keys.

How Remington says to pick your setting
Start from your hair type
Remington's S9511 use and care manual says to select the appropriate temperature for your hair type, and gives a chart: 300–340°F for thin/fine or easy-to-style hair, 360–370°F for color-treated, 390–410°F for textured, and 430–450°F for thick and difficult-to-style hair.
Nine set points across 300–450°F
Remington lists a 300–450°F range, and the manual names each setting: 300, 320, 340, 360, 370, 390, 410, 430 and 450°F, so each chart band has its own settings.
Lock the temperature you chose
The manual says pressing and holding the minus button for about 2 seconds locks all the keys, and the display shows a lock symbol. Holding the plus button for about 2 seconds jumps to the maximum 450°F setting.
15-second heat-up
Remington lists a heat-up time of 15 seconds.
