RE: follow the following

["Hill, Leo" <Leo -dot- Hill -at- kci1 -dot- com>]

Short and direct is how I do it.

State the action required - "Changing the Canister"

[State any Safety Awareness issues]
Step 1)
Step 2)
Step 3)
continue as necessary

Subject: follow the following


Hi,

I'm writing a user manual at the moment and wonder whether there's a better way of saying:

To perform the desired action follow the following steps:

It just seems very clumsy. Our style is a bit formal, so saying 'do the following' or something like that would not be correct.  I'm leaning towards 'perform the steps provided below:' but that seems a but cumbersome.  Any ideas?
