Smell of something burning

Hello,

I just tried my brand new Nero for the first time today and I stopped after 5'41" because there was a burning smell.
I checked it wasn't the tyres and it came from the Nero near the lights.
I was only trying it (220W on average from my Asioma).

Is that something normal for a new unit and I can try further ?
Other from that it's a uncredible experience which is much better than what I was used to on my older Tacx Galaxia.

Thank you very much.

Done two longer rides on it without any smell.

Sofar, all is good.

When ever my front wheel touches the plastic frame on the side of the roller it gives off a burning smell. Not sure if it might have been that. I've touched the side so many times now the wheel has left a groove cut in to the plastic, which is not great. I wish that part of the Nero was made of metal.
