You won't melt anything if you keep temperature and duration within reasonable ranges. An oven (albeit a different one) is how these things are soldered in the first place so you don't need to worry about it below 200°C, really.
Kitchen oven should work as well. I'd preheat the oven to around 120°C and put the PCB in with the black ICs and connectors up (just the PCB, no frame, battery, display, µSD, nothing!) You'd probably do well to prop it up on two or three pieces of cork or similar so it doesn't touch the baking sheet and let it heat to around 160°C. I'd stay within 10 to 15 minutes total.
Good luck!
