Default Fabric Care Question

All of my nice (expensive) ski and bike clothes have care labels that state
"TUMBLE DRY LOW". The dryer in my apartment has no "low" setting (it's a
G.E. SpaceMaker unit), only 2 knobs, one of which is for temperature
control. The choices are "Knits", "Delicate", "Fluff", and "Norm/Perm
Press". I know that "Norm/Perm Press" is out of the question, as it's the
highest heat setting, but which of the other settings would be best for
lycra/polyester/polypro/etc.?

TIA,

JJ

Fluff good - better yet air dry. The stuff is so hydrophobic that it air
dries in like 10 minutes.

Don't use a clothes dryer. =)
