New mini-fridge has hissing sound but is cooling down

[slayerextreme]

I went and got a new Haier Mini-fridge today for my homebrew bottling....I got it all situated plugged it in and noticed a slight hissing sound coming from the small freezer compartment...the freezer already has ice forming on it after 20 minutes, so I was wondering if the hissing is normal while the fridge is trying to circulate the refrigerant and equalize during the initial start-up ????

if it was leaking freon I kind of think it wouldnt even cool down....

Opinions????

I have a Haier fridge also. Makes all kinds of swooshy, hissing noise when the compressor is running, but so far has worked fine.
