If you run into that type of insulation in a cabinet, soak it down thoroughly with dish detergent and scrape it carefully as not to get the fibers airbourn.
As to why your clock-radio has no snooze bar-. It's the "kitchen" model. Some manufacturers of this era produced both bedroom and kitchen versions of the same clock radios. Often the kitchen models also had a courtesy outlet on the back so you could plug in a coffee pot and have it automatically start the next morning.
