240 volts into a 220 volt machine ?

As above , Is that OK or boom fizz puff of smoke

i certainly wouldn't take my word for it and go and plug stuff in, but I thought that normally 220v and 240v were nominal labels and in reality most machines operated at around 230 with a fair degree of leeway.

I look forward to being told I'm wrong

More info, Uk nominal is 230 volts, where I am it is 236 volts average but with highs and lows.

Our place, mains exceeds 250V for minutes at a stretch on an almost daily basis.
Nothing has blown up yet ....
Everything in Europe in the last decade or two is designed to tolerate 220-240V plus some overvoltage tolerance.
Personally, I wouldn't worry about it.
