réfrigérateur/congélateur : L'emploi de l'oblique est incorrect puisqu'il s'agit non pas d'un choix entre un réfrigérateur et un congélateur mais bien d'un meuble qui combine les deux. On utilise préférablement le trait d'union. 6, record 1, French, - combin%C3%A9%20r%C3%A9frig%C3%A9rateur%2Dcong%C3%A9lateur
