Hamsters usually need to settle in when you get them home. Given time your new hamster is likely to become tame.

just feed and water her for now and lightly clean wee area about every 3 days.

Once she is used to her cage and stops hiding from you. Start talking to her and offer a seed, treat or veg. You can also put tissue up your sleeve to get your scent on it. Then tear it into strips and put them in the cage. This gets the hamster used to your scent in their cage and can help the taming process. They may use the tissue for their nest or may just leave it, but it still helps.
