***MY question would be that IF you are in a 230v country and it really IS hovering at 230+-2 or 3 vac, than which tap WOULD you use? 220 or 240?***
One can not answer this question intelligently without knowing the design details of that product. Some units may indeed have components overstressed when using 220V setting, but they might produce a bit more power. It is generally safer to configure it for 240V.
Remember also, that 220, 230 or 240V operation usually also means 50Hz, which is MUCH harder on the transformer.
