It will protect the appliance. However you may choice to double check that surge protector to see that the "switch" you're talking about actually built to BE used as a switch.

A gfci is a ground fault interrupter that is basically a protection for you if water comes in contact with the electricity going to the appliance (it kills the power to it). Surge protectors are used if there is and electrical overload. Plugging the unit into a surge protector will ensure protection of and overload (as long at the protector is working properly).<br><b>References : </b><br> yes.
