Hello. Thank you for choosing Just Answer. I will be helping you with your question today. Green and white are the grounds. White is the neutral and green is the ground.

Customer replied451 days and 5 hours ago.

So, do we match the Purple to the black, and the white to the red?

HI,
I have one more question if you don't mind. We are putting the black in place of the purple, the white to the white and the red to the red; leaving us lacking the green wire (since we're replacing the 4 wires with 3). Is that okay?

The green will go to the copper wire or ground it to the metal base of the cook top.

Customer replied451 days and 4 hours ago.

Yes, ok, the green one is already ground on the metal. We'll try it! Thanks
