  Using infrared spectra of the z = 1.693 quadruply lensed quasar HE0435-1223
acquired in 2009 with the spectrograph SINFONI at the ESO Very Large Telescope,
we have detected a clear microlensing effect in images A and D. While
microlensing affects the blue and red wings of the H{\alpha} line profile in
image D very differently, it de-magnifies the line core in image A. The
combination of these different effects sets constraints on the line-emitting
region; these constraints suggest that a rotating ring is at the origin of the
H{\alpha} line. Visible spectra obtained in 2004 and 2012 indicate that the
MgII line profile is microlensed in the same way as the H{\alpha} line. Our
results therefore favour flattened geometries for the low-ionization
line-emitting region, for example, a Keplerian disk. Biconical models cannot be
ruled out but require more fine-tuning. Flux ratios between the different
images are also derived and confirm flux anomalies with respect to estimates
from lens models with smooth mass distributions.
