Forty-nine Fahrenheit is too high for a fridge, and I'm assuming that's what you mean. A fridge should be set to 4 - 6 degrees centigrade, which is about 38 - 42 degrees Fahrenheit. Food keeps fresher longer at the lower end of that temperature. Hope that helps.

39 degrees fahrenheit (4 degrees centrigrade) is allegedly the optimum temperature for the longest preservation of food types.

37 to 41, 49 is far to hot

Mine is set at 40 degrees, which has been successful for me.
