Yes, but be sure it is of sufficient rating to handle the current. Air conditioners typically use a large amount of electrical current, and so the ampere rating of the cord needs to be high enough not to cause appreciable heating or failure of the cord. Also, the longer the extension cord, the heavier its gauge needs to be, as its resistance goes up in direct relationship to its length. If the resistance of the extension cord gets too high, the compressor motor will see insufficient voltage to start up reliably and will run poorly or not at all. Look for an "appliance extension cord" when you go to the store. They are easily distinguishable from ordinary lamp extension cords by their heavier weight cable and they're almost always equipped with a 3-prong plug and receptacle. Keep the extension cord run from the outlet to the air conditioner as short as practical -- less than 12 ft (4 meters), if you can.
If the unit is a permitted piece of equipment, like a central Air conditioning unit, it gets hardwired. If the unit is removable , such as a window unit, it will have a cord on it.
I don't know about the warranty, but the unit will run fine using an extension cord IF you buy one that is heavy-duty. Look for a cord that is 12 gauge or even 10 gauge. If you use a 14, 16, or 18 gauge cord (these may be too small), the unit could be damaged.
Not by yourself, and not a window unit at all.

You can buy a special unit for that case.
Yep. You get it in there. you can use a central unit if you can get it in there.
A 20 amp breaker might actually be needed for the installation. It depends on the wattage and voltage of the window air conditioner.
How much is a window unit ac cost, the cheapest
Mine had a small rubber plug on the outside, lower edge of the unit.
I have a unit with a SN GV351271. I need a wiring diagram for this unit.
A mobile air conditioner, also called a portable air conditioner, is a smaller air conditioning unit ideal for places where a larger window unit is not feasible. The portable units can be moved from room to room, as they are a lot smaller than the window units and, therefore, portable.
You can contact the manufacturer. If its a window unit that the plug is missing there are terminals inside where the cord used to be. Black is hot, white is neutral and green is ground. Check the nameplate on the unit to make sure of the voltage and current draw (amps).
