 If I am going to be using my 4 frame extractor on and off over the next 3
 months during this year's season, is it necessary to wash out an extractor

I guess it depends upon what you want a quality product or garbage.
 
However I am small time also and I rinse the extractor with hot water and use
the rinse water to also wash most of the honey from my cappings and this gets
fed back to one of my hives (usually a hived swarm) who then draw me out some
beautifull new comb.
