Rinse out warning device (5)

I believe the answer is:

siren

Here is my best explanation:

'warning device' is the definition.

(I've seen this before)

'rinse out' is the subsidiary indication.

'out' is an anagram indicator.

'rinse' with letters rearranged gives 'siren'.

This clue was last seen in Mirror
