My new GE 220 volt cooktop came with the black, red, white and green wires. the white and green were crimped together as if they assumed it was going to be connected to an old pre 1996 3 wire house system.
Odd – seems the white and green wires would all be loose like for a modern 4 wire house cable connection.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!

Edward,
Did you read the enclosed directions? I've seen them where they tell the installer to uncrimp the white and green if installing on a 4 wire circuit. They ship the appliance with the wires joined to be sure that the white and green both get connected on 3 wire circuits in older homes.

second that. Read the destructions.
Its not odd at all. Its sent that way for people who only have three wires. The directions tell you to split the white & green for four wire hook ups.
I see those all the time.
Family.....They're always there when they need you.
