ENG ANTI-ICE AND ENGINE AUTO IGNITION WERE ON FOR TAKEOFF AND SHORTLY AFTER ALL ICE PROTECTION WAS TURNED ON AND LT ON FOR FEW IMINUTES.  ONCE THEY WERE FREE OF ICE IT WAS ALL TURNED OFF EXCEPT FOR WINDSHILED ANTI-ICE AND ENG AUTO-IGNITION APPROX 15 MINUTES LATER THE SMOKE WAS NOTICED AND THEY TURNED OFF THOSE 2 ITEMS AND CONTINUED WITH MEMEORY ITEMS FOR SMOKE AND FUMES.
