Hey Patrick. As I was scanning through the current rev of the manual, I, too, saw sections as you've described...where the Dash was referenced in a string of menu picks. My position is that this should remain as is exactly because it's a series of menu picks. When the Dash is referenced on its own, then I believe the article "the" should be included.
So...my believe is any mention of the Dash in a series as you've reproduced is just fine.
