I would emphasize in the strongest possible terms that you should use anti-ice or de-ice systems fitted to your aircraft precisely per the manufacturers instructions, as embodied in your approved manuals.

That's what was assumed when the aircraft was certificated as safe for flight; anything else and you just appointed yourself chief test pilot and designer, possibly with a bunch of unwilling and unaware test subjects along for the ride.
