Narrative:

On climb out around 17;000 feet we received a bleed air duct aural and red warning message. QRH was completed and directed us to leave icing conditions. We contacted dispatch about the issue and ATC and stated we needed to get out of icing conditions. Dispatch was of little help in determining where non icing conditions existed. ATC stated that precipitation surrounded us 100 miles ahead of us and 90 miles behind us. Using pilot reports of no ice at 15;000 feet; we descended to this altitude to maintain clear of the ice and stayed at this altitude to destination. We continued to destination as the weather was nice and landed safely.
