Disassembling 8600 for cleaning

Hello forum,
I have seen messages on the forum suggesting it would be a good idea to use compressed air to clean dust out of a computer.  Since I am starting to suspect there is some in my Inspiron 8600, I would like to do so.  But - I've seen nothing on HOW to disassemble it!  Supposedly it is easy to remove the keyboard - but how?  And what about further disassembly?
Thanks!

    Support.dell.com, enter service tag, choose documentation - service manual.

    Unless you know your system is overheating, which this model isn't known for, I would not take it apart.

    Just blow some compressed air into the intake and exhaust vents if you think there may be a dust problem.

    Wouldn't that just blow the dust further in?

    It will blow the dust out of the other vent.
