are they brand new never run till now? if so thats just the coating. it should go away after like 5-10mins of running.
If you've ran it longer than that and it still smokes, you might have spilled oil on it, or a wire or somethingthing is burning up. MAKE SURE ITS NOT A WIRE THO.

But if it has been sitting for a while make sure its not a cat or some kind of animal

Mine did the same thing, no worries unless they don't stop, or if they're not new.
