From what I understand, icing protection should be turned on if the

Some ice protection equipment uses a fluid that is of limited quantity

He can always pause and go to the fridge for more fluids.

Other ice protection devices can put a drain on a smaller aircraft's
power.


He's running on 220VAC. Sholdn't be an issue.

simulating flight into a CB at the freezing level.
