To use an oil hanukiyah (menorah), you'll need some special short wicks - you can buy wicks from hobby stores and cut it to the correct length, or visit a Hebrew bookstore which will stock them in the correct size. Wicks can easily be rolled from raw cotton or cotton balls. The oil cups on the hanukiyah are then filled with the oil. The wicks, usually fitted with glass or metal discs to hold them above the oil, are placed in them. These are then lit using the shamash (helper or attendant candle) just as you would with a candle hanukiyah.
