Yes, I think you are correct. It's a documentation error. Below is the same instruction for the PE32. Figure 8 shows arrows but not clear for the part being removed. The lighting is poor. That is not a great help. A closer shot + a picture like you show would be much better.

New docs. I have the 2019 doc for this stove where the picture is correct. The new docs look like they need a tech review.
Ok moving on to #8. I didnt get a plug in the pedestal box. Just the one installed in the stove. Is that the correct one?
Based on the illustration it appears that the entire plug assembly is removed so that ash will drop into the pedestal base's ash drawer. The photo's lighting doesn't do a good job of showing this.
FYI, I don't own this stove, just reading the docs.
Look inside the stove. There should be a removable plug for the ash hole in the center of the firebox floor.
I did and thats what's shown in the picture I posted (bottom). But direction #8 says remove that and replace with the one that supposedly came with the pedestal. Nothing came with the pedestal. Im assuming it doesn't require a plug and just remains open?
With no plug inside the stove's firebox on the floor air would come in unregulated through the ash hole and turn the stove into a blast furnace.
There must be an ash plug. It should look something like this.

Ok i have that. Where I'm confused is that direction #8 says remove plug that came with firebox and put in one that came with pedestal. I didn't get one with pedestal but this is the one that came in the firebox. Is this the correct plug?
