Default Installing new/old GE Profile stove top - 6 wires?!

HELP!

please.

I just purchased an old GE Profile stove top (unused, but discontinued)
from a Kitchen & Bathroom place (cleaning house). If anyone cares,
it's model# J66RP1BG. They didn't have the manual(s) for it - go
figure - and GE doesn't have them online. Now I can't figure out how
the wiring goes because there are 2 wires that I don't know what to do
with. Internet searches have come up empty too.

Coming out of the wall I have the ground, red, black, and white which
is to be expected.

The old cook top went into a fuse box under the counter, but I think it
was wired wrong because not all the burners worked, and I would like to
do this right. The former owners of this house weren't too bright
from what I've found.

Coming out of my "new" cook top are 6 wires: white, red, black, orange,
and yellow, plus ground. Can anyone out there tell me:
1. what connects to what?
2. how should the fuses or breakers (preferred, I know) be hooked up?

I figured that each of the red, white, black, and grounds would line up
(although I don't know if there should be fuses between any of them),
but then what do I do with the orange and yellow?

Thank you for any and all assistance you can offer.
