When you first power on, and the setup runs, it should ask you if you want to take the data from a wireless time machine.

If you do not get the setup it may be in System Preferences>Time Machine

Here's a TUAW article on the subject: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/01/27/restoring...

Basically, when you're installing OS X on the new drive, select the option to restore the computer from a Time Machine backup. The TUAW article has the details on where to find the options you need.
