GE wall electric oven wiring

I purchased a new GE wall oven model JTS3000 with four wire connection-red wire, black wire, and white and ground wire taped together. My incoming circuit wiring has a white wire, black wire and ground wire.(separate from the cooktop circuit)
How do I connect correctly?

Welcome to the forums.

(separate from the cooktop circuit)
Not sure why you mentioned this.... but correct.... the oven and cooktop are connected to separate circuits.

GE allows you to connect the bare ground and neutral to the three wire bare wire.
You should have received an installation manual with your oven.

Thank you Pete (PJMAX)
My concern was do I connect the white wire coming from the circuit to the red wire of the oven, and the black wire coming from the circuit to the black wire of the oven, and the ground wire coming from the circuit to the white and ground wire of the oven? (there are only the three wires coming from the circuit- white, black and ground)
Thanks

Yes... that is correct.
In your case the black and white are the 240v legs and the bare is considered the neutral.
