You should not be using Pyrex in the BSO.  I believe the manual says as much, and World Kitchen certainly warns against placing Pyrex within 6" of electric elements.

OK.  I have skimmed through the manual (BOV845,  all models) and cannot find any mention of Pyrex at all.   The only thing I can find which might be applicable is :

"Caution should be exercised when using pans and dishes constructed of materials other than metal. "

And I would not own or use the latest Pyrex dishes period.  They took the borosilicate out of it, thus robbing it of its acclaimed safety factor.  End of buying new Pyrex for me forever.  I do have a good selection of old Pyrex, unscratched, etc, and I use it constantly and carefully.  (Although I can't use the 9" x 13" pan in the Breville...alas...)

 

I'll look up the World Kitchen warning...

 

Added ten minutes later...good lord, they make the new Pyrex.  Well, so much for that one....
