The ground wire must all ways be used. This is your first line of defence if a short circuit occurs. It is the current return path that trips the breaker and disconnects the load from the main service panel. The green wire on a stove cord, at the stove end, must be connected to the frame structure of the stove. Look for a ground lug or ground screw to connect to. If you can not see one, pick up one at a local DIY store and install it. Safety first.

Want to move electric cook stove but it won't reach the 240 Is it possible to use a 240 extension cord for awhile until remodeling is finished?

I wouldn't recommend it. At the same time, I'm not aware of a "factory-made" 240 V. plug-and-cord extention cord. This type of cord would have to be home-made. I could be wrong. As much of a pain as it may be, plugging in your stove directly to it's receptacle is best. An alternative is to use a microwave oven.
