Not likely, but what machine are you using?

With water in the tank and the humidifier set to 0...essentially turned off...the air will still move over the water and a little moisture will be picked up but it won't be very much. We call that passover mode because the air just passes over the water and picks up small amounts of moisture. It's going to be very minimal amount though.
