Might be a bit a late and I don't know if it's the same as my FLA 1001w but to get the top off there should be two screws at the back, remove them and then slide the top back and off. I don't know where you go from there as I'm trying find out how to get access to the rear of the drum on mine; therer's no access panel! If you've worked it out let me know, pleease!
