Have the belts checked for the proper tension. If they are loose, they will squeak. Replacement is also an option. In the morning, the belts may be damp due to moisture in the air and condensation. Do not put oil on the belt unless you want to replace it. Oil attacks rubber that is not compatible. The silicone belt dressing doesn't do much good for the belt either.

Very common when they wear. They usually get a "glaze" on them, and they slip instead of grip, until warmed up.
You can either change them, or they sell a "belt dressing", either in stick form (hold it against the side of the belt that rides in the pulley groove as the engine is running....BE VERY CAREFUL!!!),
or a spray form (again...while engine is running...watch yourself!)

On a car, a very small drop of oil from the dipstick on the inside of the fan belt will stop the squealing. Others, a small drop of oil...

You can spray them with a silicone spray. If it continues, the belts may be too loose and may need to be tightened.

Make sure they are adjusted properly, not worn or cracked. You can buy belt dressing at your local auto supply. Don't put oil on them, they will slip & burn.
