If you look at their installation video;

you'll see that the fans used on the cooler are proprietary due to the fact that there's a fan controller built into the cooler's tower cowl. You could pick up 140mm and 120mm PWM fans respectively and then daisychain them to your motherboard's CPU_FAN header or if your board has a CPU_OPT fan header, you can pair one of the two fans for the cooler to it.

If you want to stick to the cooler's specs, for the sake of purity, you might want to contact Be Quiet!(courtesy of an email) and see if they can ship out replacement fans for your cooler. You might need to show proof of purchase(maybe).
