The drawing is misleading. Your Newell is wired correctly: BLACK AND RED are ungrounded conductors. The neutral is not a ground wire, it is A GROUNDED CONDUCTOR but not meant to serve as as a ground. It’s function is to carry any unbalanced current from a THREE WIRE circuit and must be insulated.
The neutral is grounded at the main service ONLY.
Your cooktop appears to be a 240 volt only unit and it appears that you have correctly connected it to the Newell. Green is EQUIPMENT ground and connects to the metal “handy” box, black to black, red to white (of the cooktop) are the ungrounded conductors. DISCLAIMER, no label is presented and only your statement “Dual element 220V”. No current draw figures from the label either however, the Newell circuit is likely fed from a 2 pole 20 A breaker providing ample current. You might check the new cooktops wire size, it should be at least 12 gauge.
