How to clean a space heater air intake?

I have a Honeywell 360 Surround Heat space heater that has been in storage for the past year. I need to use it, but there is dust, hair, and lint stuck in the air intake at the bottom of the tower. I've tried using a blowdryer to no avail. The instruction manual says you only need to clean the outside and that the heater doesn't disassemble, so I have no idea how to get the crap out of it! Somebody please help....
