And how often should I do this? I don't want to cause any heat or wear and tear.

I use compressed air either by can or compressor setup which blows it out. I can use a vacuum cleaner with a small attachment as well or reverse it to blow it out. Use as another poster offered, brush it off and then use the "air". be sure to use common sense as to not blow anything off(jumpers) or cause "weeee" factor of fans(block it) You may want to disassemble the frt. panel for any filter or clogged air paths as well. Once, you do this you'll get the time intervals of cleaning because it varies from place to place(environment).
