The terms 220 volt and 240 volt are used interchangeably. The voltages coming in from the power company can vary between these numbers, and possibly higher or lower. So yes, it's fine.
Another Answer
The voltages which you quote are 'nominal' and within the allowable tolerance of a standard European nominal voltage of 230 V.

How to go from 220 volts to 600 volts?
Use a step up 240 to 600 volt transformer.
Why there is different types of voltage range 210 Volt 220 Volt 230 Volt 240 Volt 250 Volt in single phase AC system and what it based?
In the US the voltage is about 220 volts. This voltage is based upon the average voltage of the AC sine wave. It can peak as high as 240 volts or as low as 210 volts. So these different voltages are actually referring to an average 220 volt system.
Can you use 265 volt appliance on a 220 volt line?
Yes, the 265 volts is just the maximum the appliance can handle. You can use it on a 240 volt circuit.
If your house is wired for 240 volts do you have to have your house rewired for 230 volts?
No. 240 Volts was the nominal standard in Australia with a tolerance of +/- 10%, So the voltage could be anywhere between 216 Volts and 264 Volts. The change to 230 volts is part of international harmonisation between countries that use 220 volt standards and 240 volt Standards. The new tolerance levels are +10% and - 6%.
Can 240 volt appliances from NZ run on 240 Volts in the US?
yes 240volts is 240 volts
Is France 110 volt or 220 volt?
France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.

Can 110v circuit power 240v devices?
You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.
Can you run 110 and 220 volt circuits in the same conduit?
Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.
If your house is wired for 240 volts do you have to have your house rewired for 230 volts?

Can 240 volt appliances from NZ run on 240 Volts in the US?
yes 240volts is 240 volts
How can you take your desktop to Australia?
if you want to take your desktop to Australia , just make sure it has a switch that will enable it to work on 220 volts. Australia does not have 110 volts. all homes etc have 220/240 volt electricity
Is a 220 volt electrical power wire the same as a 240 volt electrical power wire?
Yes 220 & 240 are considered the same.
How many volts can b drawn off a 240 volt breaker?
240 volts maximum.
Why US use voltage equal to 110 but Europe 220 volt?
The U.S. chose 110-120 volts because it is safer than 220-240 volts. Far less chance of getting electrocuted on the lower voltage.
