Continuous pedal in A

No pedal in GE, interpretation

2 pedals in FE (→EE)

Our variant suggestion

The FE pedal markings take advantage of the harmonic legato, carefully written out by Chopin, and is recommended as such, particularly on contemporary pianos – cf. bars 43-48. Due to this fact, as in those bars, in the main text we include it in a variant form, keeping the A indication as the principal one. In GE there is no  mark at all in these bars, which we interpret as the absence of pedalling.
See also bars 184-185.
