GE JCP 930 Cooktop Wiring (by 2 users)

My GE cooktop consistently blows a fuse when all four burners are on. The fuses are under the counter and there are two at 20 watts each. Can I run the wiring direct and use the circuit breaker for protection?

There are fuses under the counter AND it is wired to a breaker box. I have removed the fuses and connected direct to the breaker box. Is this safe?

Bought a second hand Kenmore cooktop, newer than my own. The old one has fuses under the control box but this one just has 5 wires coming out the side. do I need a fuse box or can this be wired directly? It seems as though the wires have been paired (taped together) in two sets of two plus ground. The model number is C970-46049-1 but I can't seem to find any info. Tks.

These fuses are under counter? It should be wired to breaker box. Check specs in manual but i suspect a 30 or 40 amp breaker.

If these fuses are not part of cooktop, and I'm sure their not, it SHOULD be connected to breaker box directly. Again, check for proper breaker requirements.
