Note: We found no manufacturer statement on using this model at 230–240V, so we rate it neither "works as is" nor "will not work". Check the manual and the rating label before use, and ask the manufacturer or service centre if unsure. Models the manufacturer limits to their rated voltage are rated "will not work".
