No. Accordingly, it is incumbent to remove the plug from the outlet prior to the start of Yom Tov, otherwise one will not be allowed to turn on the flame even if he has a pre-existing flame available. [However, if one forgot to do so, then one may turn it on if he places a flame next to the gas in a way that it will light from the flame and not from the spark.[1]]
