So icing ON on both engines, All lights up informing about left engine icing and right, plus dust protection. 
When i switch off left side, all lamps go off include dust protection, while when right is off, only dust protection go off, while icing still on.

From my understanding the left anti icing can only be controlled manually, it does not turn on automatically (Presumably so that if for whatever reason the anti ice system caused the engine to lose power or stop, you only lose one engine not both when it turns on automatically) - to turn off the right hand engine you have to press the "General Off" button. See attached PDF.

Correct.

 

It may help to understand that only the left engine can be ON or OFF. Everything else on that panel is ON or AUTO. So putting the switch down doesn't turn it off, it just puts it back in automatic mode. And as mentioned above, to turn those systems off, press the GENERAL OFF button.
