Cleaning the vent

I have a l1 model 11 I have owned it for 6 years I have recently noticed the air vent on the base is blocked with dust etc… tries a vaccum cleaner and it has not moved suggestions please compressed air? take the cover off? this blocked vent is causing the unit to overdrive a bit when using so I need to resolve this asap
