Help with extractor fan/filter please

Hello
I am trying to clean the filter of my bathroom extractor fan:
http://www.greenwood.co.uk/product/6/545/centrifugal-100mm-bathroom-extractor-fan-with-integral-filter.html
The problem is, I can't get the front bit off, and even when I do I have no idea which bit is the filter or what I should be looking for?
It is very noisy - which makes me think it is blocked and is also probably not working well if so. btw I am switching off the lights at the mains as I tamper with it. When I try to unscrew the bit on the front the screwdriver just goes right through the hole..I can't work out how it is all fixed together.

I've got the front cover off now. The screw was obscured by dust! and it is rusty.
I will just remove some dust with a dry cloth I think. If I can remove the filter I will - if I can work out which bit is the filter.0 -
Did you download the datasheet on your link? It shows the filters:

It looks like the filters just pull out to be cleaned.0
