I am wondering how I should translate sentences like this one, when it is a title or the title of an illustration in a user manual
I suggest: "Calling program menu"
Same thing with "Festlegung des Vakuums": sould I rather say "Vacuum setting" or "setting the vacuum"?

Run/´Start Program Menu
This language comes most likely out of a programmers manual and is not intended for the common folks like operators.
Aufruf refers typically to a program module, which in this case displays a menu.
Not too many hits in German or English. A number of years back we did a Bosch manual into English and it was full of this "Aufruf" this and that.

selecting the program menu
I'd always use e.g. "Boiling the kettle", if you follow my drift

I think you're right. If it is a heading at some level, then you might consider the caps as above.
