Use a nice (spotlessly) clean funnel and fill via the dip stick hole as Dava said.

Keep it all very clean, one single tiny grain of muck may damage the transmission.
Use clean lint free rags to wipe any parts.

Ha ha, it's amazing how many people say that when I tell them. Loads of US auto boxes dont have drain bungs, you should see the fun draining them, you remove the sump with it full of 8 ltrs of hot ATF, it never fails to get you.
